ÒColorful new worksÓ Gramophone.
ÒIlluminating, entrancing recitalÉMuradianÕs concertos [are] a real treasure-trove to be minedÉKosinÕs movements are quite lovely—delicate and alluringÉBiggsÕ work deserves the widest possible exposureÉLaTrailleÕs Quintet [gives us] scintillating, enjoyable music that enhances not only listener pleasure but intellectual stimulation as well. Who says modern music was stale? This release proves them wrong!Ó American Record Guide
ÒChristÕs musicianship is unequivocally dead-on, and the same can be said for his colleagues.Ó Fanfare
ÒThe oboeÕs many facets are explored in colourful
and listener-friendly waysÉMuradianÕs three movements abound in lively and
lyrical writing that lends itself beautifully to this intimate setting. KosinsÕ
Rendezvous and Dreams [has] considerable panacheÉBiggs trips the international
light fantastic to vibrant effect. LaTraille whips up spicy melodic and
rhythmic ingredients.Ó
