"The delicious Infinity for flute and piano sounds a good deal more French than British. It opens in slow waltz time with a long, beautifully shaped,
rather melancholy tune in the flute, reminiscent of Fauré or even Chaminade. In contrast to this is a more virtuosic, scherzo-like music, with repetitive, irregularly accented rhythms.
These two elements, and some subordinate ones, are played off against each other leading eventually to a nostalgic restatement of the opening melody, and a brief coda in scherzando
style." © Calum MacDonald 2007
