Reviews
~Fanfare [review of Ned Rorem CD]~
It is beautifully played with an absolute degree of
insight and sensitivity by the all-woman Contrasts
Quartet. This disc not only deserves its Grammy
nomination but your immediate and guaranteed
gratified patronage. The 2006 Want List begins.
~The Washington Post~
Each member [in Brahms Clarinet Trio] can make
her instrument sing with purity and precision.
---a rapt account of Hindemith's clarinet quartet of
1938, was elegantly restrained yet agile and vivid.
~Gerald Fenech, Classical Net [review of Ned Rorem CD]~
The Contrasts Quartet, made up of four extraordinary
female virtuosi gives exhilarating performances of
these innovative pieces, and their refreshing approach
will certainly win these works many new fans.
~Detroit Free Press~
If this is what comes of residencies, bring more.
~The Post-Star (Glens Falls, NY)~
They played as one voice. What made the performance
special was how personal the playing was.
It swept the audience along.
~American Record Guide~
Approachable and appealing---humane and direct.
~The New York Times~
Drawn to what's next, not what has been----
impassioned reading, polished performance.
