Sands-zine (Italy) Mario Bisoni, april 2022
“una voce fuori dal coro….L’olandese Fie Schouten è fra i maggiori esperti di clarinetto basso (o clarone), uno strumento dal suono scuro e notturno e allo stesso tempo caldo e avvolgente.….“Nut” è uno di quei dischi che escono nettamente, sia per gli strumenti utilizzati sia per i compositori proposti, dal coro delle ovvietà, e sarebbe sufficiente questo per renderne l’acquisto caldamente raccomandato.”

“komponierte Musik von hohem Spannungsgehalt; Grisey… da rasseln die Oktaven zum Lachen in dem Keller…”
“Wäre das Leben ein Wunschkonzert, wünschte ich mir, Fie Schouten einmal beim Improvisieren zu hören.”

His voice (Czechia) Jan Hocek maart 22
“Basklarinetgodin Fie Schouten”
“Dit is bij vlagen brunatische, energieke muziek met dynamische transformaties, minimalistisch opgebouwd. In dezelfde bezetting spelen ze dan op wonderbaarlijke wijze het bijna twaalf minuten durende meesterwerk Tap-Blow-Dance 4, waarmee het album wordt afgesloten. De repetitieve reprise van de dans is gecomponeerd door de Poolse componiste Hanna Kulenty (1961). Haar belangstelling voor jazz en expressionisme komt ook hier tot uiting, met sterke percussieve elementen, een nerveuze cello, een algemene sonische urgentie, maar ook een sterke, ontroerende melodie.”

Kulturni Magazin UNI (Czechia) Petr Slabý maart 22
“..His (Roelofsen) cycle on intimacy is inspired by a sensory sensation called autonomic sensory meridian response, which is like a pleasant tingling sensation that can induce a slight euphoria. The artist also achieves this by mixing in other sounds to the bass clarinet, cello and percussion, which he mixes from whispers or “crackles” on paper, for example. The result is indeed extremely emotional. The subtitle of the sixth movement , mosaicsʻ corresponds to the structured nature of the piece, which is, however, very compact in its essence….. A CD full of strong compositions with a great and sensitive interpretation….”

“…Op de andere cd Nut, met kamermuziek voor (contra)basklarinet en derden, moet iedereen Tap-Blow-Dance4 voor twee basklarinetten, cello en vibrafoon van de Pools-Nederlandse componiste Hanna Kulenty horen. Met zijn laaglands stuwende, ironische lichtheid is het een bevrijdende ontknoping na de moeilijke schaduwrijken van Griseys tweeluik Anubis, Nout voor contrabasklarinet en de spokende intimiteit van Enrique Raxachs Decade (1992) voor basklarinet en accordeon. lees helemaal

Opduvel (Gert Derkx):
De werken worden met veel gevoel uitgevoerd en nergens is dan ook sprake van strikte abstractie. Nut is een prachtig album dat nieuwsgierig maakt naar ander werk van de artiesten die erop spelen én naar andere composities van de componisten waarvan werken worden gespeeld. lees helemaal

“composed music of high tension; Grisey… there the octaves rattle for laughter in the cellar…”
“If life was a wishconcert, I wish I could hear Fie Schouten improvising once.”

His voice (Czechia) Jan Hocek march 22
“Goddess of the bass clarinet Fie Schouten” “This is at times brunatic, energetic music with dynamic transformations, minimalistically constructed. In the same line-up, they then wonderfully play the nearly twelve-minute masterpiece Tap-Blow-Dance 4, which closes the album. The dance repetitive reprise was composed by Polish composer Hanna Kulenty (1961). Her interest in jazz and expressionism is also reflected here, with strong percussive elements, a nervous cello, an overall sonic urgency, but also a strong, moving melody.”
