“Williams gave a haunting interpretation of this work which was successfully couched within a typical use of old Mediterranean musical language by composer Charles Camilleri” - Albert Storace
“The programme is demanding enough when played once through. To repeat it three times in an evening is nothing short of heroic. But then again, this is a pianist who believes in her cause” - Alex Vella Gregory
“The diversity across the works and within the works themselves required considerable concentration and vigour. The pianist demonstrated that she could easily swing from one mood to the other” - Silvio John Camilleri
