“Binkley’s smooth, rich sound was again on display, soaring through the quiet second movement.” [Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4]

“Lindabeth Binkley felicitously phrased the exquisite oboe solo that introduces the middle movement’s opening melody.” [Brahms: Violin Concerto]

“In the opening movement, soft tremolo figures in the strings relieved the tension of exploding bombs. Climbing through the desolate rubble were the haunting tones of humanity, represented last night by Lindabeth Binkley’s wonderfully expressive English horn solo.” [Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8]

“Binkley was superb. Her performance was a delight to experience. Her amazing tone in the Mozart Concerto for Oboe, K. 314 was a classic triumph of lightness, delicacy, and expressiveness with the subtleties of that period’s restraint. I was especially impressed by her breath control and her amazing execution of every articulation. Then, in John Corigliano’s “Aria for Solo Oboe and Strings,” Binkley took the difficult melody and made it a very believable song.”

“In the Menuet of the same concerto there was beauty of another kind when [Principal Oboist] Peter Cooper and second oboist Linda Binkley floated melodic lines above the continuo of bassoonist Chad Cognata with delicate precision.” [J. S. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 1]
