Reviews: Performance and CD: "This is a CD worth
having." Kansas City Star. "Performances
led with care." Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Performances
are first-rate; ditto the sound. A 'buy' recommendation" Fanfare.
* Van de Vate: "A richly atmospheric work ... dramatic, tense,
colorful." American Record Guide. * Gardner: "A
highly meditative tone poem tinged with Impressionism and Oriental sound patterns."
Minneapolis Star Tribune. * Larsen: "A witty,
rhythmically tricky evocation of a Renaissance court dance." Minneapolis
Star Tribune. * Richter: "A major work looking for its rightful
place in the repertoire." Kansas City Star. * Hoover:
"A lyrical, bucolic work ... engaging and thoroughly accessible."
Audio. * Mamlok: "Solidly crafted, yet moving
music. It can serve as an excellent example of klangfarbmelodie at
its best." Pan Pipes. * Brockman: "A
work of whirling color and ingenuity. " Minneapolis
Star Tribune.
