SONG TO THE MOON
Azica Records 2024 Called Song to The Moon, this CD celebrates the art of the German Lied and art song in general. Songs by Mahler, Schubert, Nikolai Medtner, and music inspired by Dvorak are performed, with the vocal lines being given to the flute, in either their original form, or in a slightly varied form. The result is a beautiful CD that displays Moliner’s gorgeous sound, diverse tonal color palette on flute as well as giving the listener a new perspective on these sublime melodies....Throughout the recording Song to Moon, Moliner sings beautifully through her flute, and successfully manages to change her sound so that the tone colors reflect the emotions being expressed in music. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this disc offers the listener an opportunity to sit back, relax and hear Moliner’s gorgeous Song to the Moon. Winnipeg CLASSIC107's Chris Wolf |

Wings: Chamber Music by Rami Levin
Acis Records 2024 “With many of the world-class artists performing on Wings being well-known to Chicago audiences, such as Mathias Tacke, Eugenia Moliner, Denis Azabagić, and Kuang-Hao Huang, coupled with Levin’s own ties to the area, this album was a no-brainer to be a featured New Release on WFMT. The two individual movements of title work Asas (for clarinet, violin, and piano) is likely to remain in circulation for the charm of the first movement “Bem-te-vi” with its catchy birdsong motif and the atmosphere of the second movement “Sabiá,” evoking morning in a Brazilian forest. The rhythmic energy of “Norte-Sul” from Linguas Fraternas (for viola and piano) is also appealing for repeated listening.” Oliver Camacho, Music Director, WFMT “Blending 20th-century harmonic gestures with charmingly lyrical and programmatic themes, the pieces featured on this album are both enticing and, at times, a bit challenging…exudes a palpable sweetness and joy throughout.” Rick Anderson, CD HotList |

Sephardic Journey
Released 2016 Cedille Records “…a remarkable, expressive, emotive CD that takes the listener on a true journey of sound…All of the playing is inspirational, combining rich, gorgeous, colorful tone quality with impeccable phrasing, technique, and ensemble playing… Moliner and Ruhstrat play with such close ensemble that they might as well be one person… This album is a perfect medium for appreciating Moliner’s exquisite playing. Her control, her impeccable intonation, and her ability to blend seamlessly with subtle changes of tone color are second only to her expressive artistry.

Cavatina Duo plays Astor Piazzolla
Released in 2010 Bridge Records "Moliner is a fantastic flutist. Every note she plays is part of the story. She weaves a line with colors, vibrato use or the lack thereof, and a sensuality that is exactly what this music requires. The ensemble between her and guitarist Denis Azabagic is tight - they play as one. I can't recommend this recording highly enough. It is a master class in musicality from track 1 through track 15."
