Reviews: CD and repertoire: "These pieces deserve wider recognition...this music always displays a lively, compelling musical personality." Fanfare. *   "The individual as well as the collective playing here is impressive." American Record Guide. Impressions exotiques: "Charming and unusual. These erudite, indulgent elaborations on 19th Century images from the exotic Far East are like a visit to a curiosity shop." American Record Guide. *   Suite pointillistique: "Sets bright piano registers against the flute's darker lower register, has harmonic and thematic material that resembles César Franck." American Record Guide. *  Jugend: "I recommend Jugend as a welcome addition to any library." American Record Guide.
