"At the start of the twenty-first century, composer Beth Anderson is one of the most exciting personalities on the American classical music scene, bucking trends of formalism and attempting to make touch with her inner self, tastes and identity in her music."

"Anderson's Postminimal Music Can be Charming and Deeply Felt to the Point of Romanticism."

"The Evening's Freshest Encounter Was Dillon's First Symphony, Written Brilliantly for Its String Choirs and Demonstrating That Every Modern Symphony Doesn't Require Steroidal Brass and Percussion forces. Dillon Argues His Case Principally Through Strings and Woodwinds, Flavoring the Mix With a Pair of Horns. Propulsive Energy Defines the First and Third Movements, Which Possessed Exceptional Structural Rigor and Harmonic Richness. Even More Remarkable Was the Second Movement - A Slow, Ghostly Sequence With Slightly Freakish Double-Bass Solos and Small, Plaintive Exclamations From the Oboe. the Entire Symphony Testifies to the Composer's Compelling, Innate Soulfulness."

"Lawrence Dillon's Flute Concerto ... Is Truly An Outstanding Work. Cast In a Three-Part Movement form, the Piece Successfully Maintained An Extremely Coherent and Powerful Dramatic Flow ... Dillon's Unique Compositional Voice Clearly Makes Itself Heard. [A] Passionate and Often Unpredictable Work."

"With restrained, but ever clear, baton technique, Di Vittorio immediately had the orchestra crisp in its rhythms. [He] and the orchestra maintained tight control in the inevitable Rossini crescendi. Rossini loved life and this performance [of the Semiramide Overture] brought the listener a great deal of that joy of living. The performance [of the Clarinet Concerto] had everything that a Mozart masterpiece required [including] a totally attentive orchestra to the interplay required for a top notch performance. and top notch it was. In the second movement there were passages of the most delicate pianissimos that made you simply hold your breath. and Di Vittorio induced from the orchestra highly sensitive string playing. [In the first movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony,] the orchestra, with a more animated Di Vittorio, made eminently clear the Czech composer's feelings about the United States. The religious-sounding chorale had the orchestra sounding like a glorious pipe organ Di Vittorio's strong beat and cueing kept everything moving smoothly. The final movement evidenced a confident orchestra completely engrossed in the power of the music. So too was the audience, whose enthusiastic applause was of a magnitude that said only one thing: 'Well, Done!' Di Vittorio's leadership evidenced a natural and significant talent."

"I strongly believe in Maestro Di Vittorio's talent not only as an elegant conductor, but also as a gifted composer. His conducting style follows and respects the tradition of the Italian schools. After studying his symphonies and opera, I praise his beautiful compositions, his tonal melodic lines combined with original harmonic treatment and rhythmic vitality."

"Steven Gerber's Violin Concerto...Is A Major Addition to the Contemporary Violin Repertoire: Lyrical, Passionate, Dramatic, Beautifully Tailored to the Instrument's Character and Capabilities."

(Chandos CD) "...Each Work Is An Important Addition to Music In the Late 20th Century, Its Sense of Evolution From Previous Generations Welcome at a Time When Change Seems to Have Become a Virtue In Itself."

(Chandos CD) "Every Once In a While, Something Comes Along That Is So Striking That the Usual List of Influences, Metaphors, and Descriptors Becomes Superfluous. Such Is the Case With Steven Gerber's First Symphony...the Three-Movement Work Held Me Mesmerized and Fascinated for Its Entire 25-Minute Length...What Is Found Is Expressive Lyricism, Searching Mystery, and Strucutral Cohesion..."

"Many audiences cringe at the thought of new music. We had such positive feedback from audiences on how much they enjoyed Brian Grundstrom's work, Celebration. It is modern, yet tonal, enjoyable, and playable."

"the music of Brooklyn-based composer Brian Grundstrom draws on a wide palette of influences, notably the celebrated 'Americana' style of Aaron Copland, with its sturdy harmonies and open spaces. Yet Grundstrom brings a distinctive approach to tonality, maintaining an essential tonal foundation while avoiding key signatures. 'the absence of a key signature gives me the freedom necessary to use tonality in more interesting ways, letting my ear guide my music along its path.'"

"nothing short of brilliant"

"Harbach plays her own Spaindango, once again to the glory of the 16ft stop. This is a fetching piece, full of antique flourishes mixed with 20th-century rage and madness, a cauldron of churning notes."

"An excellent piece on this well-known hymn (Fanfare and Toccata on "Lasst uns Erfreuen" (All Creatures of our God and King) for Organ, VIV 306), it is more musically interesting than many toccata pieces in that the tune, set against a bell-like figuration based on fourths and the pentatonic scale, is never played entirely in one key. The piece goes through several keys, ending in E-flat, the key in which the tune most often appears in hymnals. It is a musically interesting and useful piece on a frequently used tune."

"John Mock is an arranger and composer who knows how to feature the orchestra while fuseing classical, folk and popular styles into powerful works."

"His orchestrations are simply lovely."

"For original compositions, John has masterfully resurrected the history and magic of a land everyone forgot they came from. I can't help but think that hidden somewhere in the Celtic knotwork of the forgotten years, down all those days, there is a monk in a dimly lit corner of the monastery with headphones on, candle goin', tapping his foot under the inspiration of a fine fella named John. and no, I'm not 'is ma."
