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  Gramophone
