"Yarmel is one of the most compelling voices in the LPO’s volatile wind section. She knows how to project in heavily scored orchestral passages and takes flight when exposed. And her golden tone isn’t just pretty: She can play the nightingale, but also knows how to channel madness when the music demands it."                                                                                                                                                                -Chris Waddington, The Times-Picayune
