“I was particularly impressed by the pianism of Vivian Choi Milton – the piano is the dominant instrument of the work with many entries which have to be clear and precise. Vivian has been a keen proponent of modern classical music but showed a great feeling for this more traditional composition.”
— Tony Burke, classikON
“ … The hyperactive output of Gail Kubik (1914-84) has long since dropped off most people’s radar. Its reappearance is delightful and delicious, especially when performed as by Gil Rose’s Boston forces with so much wit, bright colouring and punch… the clear and vibrant recording, and a conductor and instrumentalists at the top of their game, clearly enjoying every note.”
— BBC Music Magazine
“Whatever the audience lacked in size on a winter afternoon during a pandemic, it made up for in the sincerity of its appreciation.”
—Jeremy Eichler, Boston Globe
