Sound
Dreams - Sue Kyung Song
"[the]
Bach pieces come across with fine sensitivity to phrasing, style and
sonority."
Senku - Piano Music by
Composers of African Descent - William Chapman Nyaho
"...played
with superior expressivity, rhythmic vivacity and kaleidoscopic shading...The
humanity of the music
and Nyaho's gripping performances kept my ears glued to
this disc"
J.S.Bach: Two Faces of Genius -
Linda Burman-Hall
"...this is one of those
recordings whose intent transcends simple enjoyment...
Gregory Squires sound is
…honest and uncompromising…forcefully capturing the timbre of [the]
instrument"

September 2002 – Editor’s Pick: Record of the Month

playing
– intimate rather than brashly immediate, and warm in tone.
All round…
this is an impressive achievement."

The Albany Symphony’s
performance is thrilling…[and] the recording…is spectacular.
This one’s a
stunner."
J.S.Bach: Two Faces of Genius - Linda Burman-Hall
"[An]
attractive program...The performances shine...[because of] her excellently
conceived
and executed ornamentation and virtuoso additional passagework-the
lightning fast 16th notes she adds...
in the Concerto's third movement...are the
most memorable. ...Burman-Hall is an exciting and imaginative artist"
Flute Music of Robert Baksa - Katherine Fink
"This is optimistic music...Fink and DiFelice are fine
collaborators... DiFelice [uses] a fine, lyrical touch...
Fink shapes melodies

nice light vibrato."

"The remasterings are gorgeous"
CLASSICAL CD REVIEW
Take 9 - American Horn
Quartet & Horns of the New York Philharmonic
"Horn playing throughout
is positively dazzling, particularly in the Candide Overture,
a tour-de-force of
horn virtuosity...the sound is outstanding, brilliantly capturing
the glistening
sound of massed horns. Gregory K. Squires...has done a magnificent
job."

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Philharmonia Virtuosi
/ Richard Kapp
"The quality of the recorded sound couldn't be improved. Everything is
clear,
natural, vibrant, as real as you can imagine. Even if you already own the
Four
Seasons, do what you have to do to find this CD. You're missing a rare
treat --
and one of the year's best recordings -- if you don't."

/ Richard Kapp
"How do you pick a 'Four Seasons' out of more than 50 available recordings?
Easy. Just buy this one."

recording... it is difficult to find words adequate to describe its endless
astonishments."

clarity and brilliance, with sparkling highs,
lucid mids, and solid but not
overpowering bass.."
