Reviews: Bruch: "Stalwart examples of German romanticism of a distinctly Brahmsian cast." Deseret News (Salt Lake City, Utah). * Bassett: "Leslie Bassett's five-movement Trio for violin, clarinet, and piano is an excellent work. The music is impassioned, expansive, and free flowing, rhapsodic perhaps, but never out of control." Notes (Music Library Association). * "Deserves 'standard repertoire' status Pan Pipes of Sigma Alpha Iota.. * Hoag: "An exceptionally exciting and appealing work with emphasis on new sounds. It proves that music can be written which explores new directions without sacrificing appeal to a majority of an audience." Pan Pipes. "To the instrumentation of the trio Hoag has added claves, maracas, a toy cricket, and wire brushes, which adds to the sounds the trio can produce, and serves his compositional purposes well. I like Inventions. Pieces such as this, which are meant to be evocative, can often be nothing but gimmicky uses of bizarre instruments. But Hoag's touches are right, and he paints a convincing picture." American Record Guide. * Hoover: "Images is a real find; it percolates with inventiveness... It is a mysterious and a strong, dynamic piece." Discography III by Richard Gilbert, published by Grenadilla Productions. * "If one were forced to categorize this piece, one useful phrase would be 'modern impressionism.' It is attractive well written music." Pan Pipes. * Performance: "The Verdehr Trio is the best of its kind." American Record Guide. * "Splendid performance ... a veritable tour-de-force of musical styles and techniques." Discography III by Richard Gilbert, published by Grenadilla Productions.
