Reviews
"Among the list of independently produced CD's, this one
does just about everything right, I think the engineering is good, the playing is good, the packaging is
good, the repertoire is interesting, so, yeah, I think they are well on their way to launching a new record label, if that's what they want to do. . .We'll play more of that in the weeks ahead."
Jurgen Gothe, Feb. 4, 1999, CBC Radio's Disc Drive
"Naturally we have heard the disc - the program's choosing is excellent and your playing, the performances are marvellous! The performance of my piece is very magnificent: colourful, virtuosic and varied.
You could feel my original conception ... absolutely authentic and convincing."
Jozsef Karai, composer of Groteszk Dance from
