‘Esther’s music is always well crafted and consistent in quality. It has the hallmarks of good composition using a language and expression which is of our time. Her pieces are accessible in their scoring and outlook, yet contain an inner depth which convincingly conveys the intended mood or meaning.’
– Tim Rogers, Head of Publishing at Encore Publications
