"The Arman Ensemble gives worthy performances, the sound is clear and full-bodied , and the notes useful... it shows a hitherto unknown aspect of a composer who deserves to be taken seriously. I enjoyed all of it, the rapt, religious slow movements in particular. Attractive music, well made and proficiently executed."
Fanfare Magazine, March/April 1997, Volume 20, Number 4
"Performances and recorded sound are richly persuasive and con amore. What more could you want?"
