"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 Brooks Seascapes[sic] (for orchestra) hints strongly at Debussy and Benjamin Britten...deftly exploitive of an orchestra's sonic possibilities...from the opening soft hints of sound, lows and highs seeming to come from the depths and the firmament, through breezes and gale and stormy tumult and, finally, a returning calm"

"The high points were undoubtedly Richard Brooks' Collage (for wind ensemble)..[which was] received enthusiastically by the large audience. The quintessentially romantic Collage played upon three ideas, culled from the first four measures of the piece: four chordal sonorities, a crescendo-diminuendo silhouette, and a rapid 'riff' in the marimba. Incessantly repeated six-note segments of the D-major ascending and C-major descending scales, derived from the marimba riff, propelled the work forward through a dense frenzy of material."

"I wanted this [CD] to be great, and I was not disappointed...I kept returning to the Brooks (Circular Motions for flute, clarinet and piano - Innova label) ...it's heady stuff, but still great fun..."

"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."

""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"

"Mr. Di Vittorio led his ensemble in the final concert of its inaugural season in a program called "Souvenir from Florence", which highlighted the string section. The musicians played with vigor and commitment throughout the evening, producing a polished, rich sound. The Adagietto from Mahler's Symphony No. 5...received a stirring performance. The orchestra concluded the evening with a voluptuous rendition of Tchaikovsky's popular Souvenir de Florence."

(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."
