“In the rarefied world of solo flutists, Piccinini has emerged as one of the world’s preeminent flutists. She has clearly taken the place of such celebrated masters as Rampal and Galway.”

— Classical Voice North America

"When Piccinini plays the flute, you're left wondering how there can be so many ways for a human being to breathe…intelligence, intensity of focus and a no-nonsense demeanor that directs all energy toward the music's fullest realization.”

— The Washington Post

“…an absolutely first-rate player…power and exuberance...a musician who hears and understands with great intelligence.”
