"Debus is a brilliant recorder player on a variety of instruments... Fine, flexible playing...I suspect some of these tunes will follow you around all day."
Andrew MacGregor: Radio 3 Record Review / Delphian Ohrwurm / August 2020

"The playing is first-rate throughout."
The Irish Times / Delphian Ohrwurm / October 2020

"Debus has curated a wide-ranging and downright catchy compendium for her instrument. Yet this album’s most addicting quality may be her playing ... She turns some captivating fandangos, jigs, and other dances into outright toe-tappers ... the whole 70-minute CD goes by like an informal but fiery set at a jazz club."
Early Music America / Delphian Ohrwurm / September 2020

"There isn’t a dull or uninteresting track anywhere on this CD ... Tabea Debus is the kind of virtuoso who makes you forget how superb she is technically, by the completeness with which she puts all her skill at the service of the music she plays, so that one’s attention is focused on the music, not on her. She is a genuinely exciting instrumentalist ... irresistible."
Musicweb International recommended / Delphian Ohrwurm / October 2020

"Renaissance and baroque works are despatched with an almost folky exuberance, and it’s a toe-tapping joy. Of the new works, Freya Waley-Cohen’s suitably hyperactive Caffeine stands out as a peppy wake-up call."
Presto Classical: Editor’s Choice / Delphian Ohrwurm / September 2020

"Debus applies just enough vibrato, her leaps and slurs are so characterful. She judges the opening of an extract drawn from Marin Marais’ Les folies d’Espagne to perfection, the upward jumps immaculate but never mechanical. Debus approaches everything she tackles in the same thoughtful way, whether it’s a Handel aria or Scots folk tune’."

"Debus is a charismatic virtuoso."
The Times / XXIV Fantasie per il Flauto CD / 2018

"Her eloquence of phrasing and unfailingly intelligent musicianship, together with a charismatic virtuosity….brings life to all of this music, whatever its epoch, whatever the approach. She is a deeply gifted artist."
c / XXIV Fantasie per il Flauto, 2018

"Only very rarely do we get the chance to encounter musicians in full artistic control and bestowed with a technical ability that makes you sit and listen in awe."
Early Music Review / XXIV Fantasie per il Flauto, 2018

"Neat, unforced, beautifully articulated."
The Times / English Chamber Orchestra at Cadogan Hall / March 2017

"As Almirena sings Augelleti, birds chirp around her, and one of them breaks into simply magical song. This was played by recordist Tabea Debus, and was so full of beauty and deep, natural musicality that one listened in more than a little awe."
New York Classical Review / The English Concert Rinaldo-Tour / 2018

"Tabea Debus is one of the most exciting young musicians in the early music world…she’s challenging perceptions of the instrument."
Classic FM / 2016

"Tabea Debus coaxed liquid-throated loveliness from her recorder in the trilling, warbling obbligato for Almirena’s Augelletti che cantate."
The Arts Desk / The English Concert Rinaldo-Tour / 2018
