"Eric Ewazen is composer-in-residence with the Orchestra of St. Lukes and a faculty member at The Juilliard School in New York. His music is very popular among brass players and his quickly gaining a large audience in the musical world. This disc contains some of his most brilliant works. The performers on the recording are exceptional. This music is appealing to all listeners and has an excitement and unabashed lyricism which is missing in the music of so many other contemporary composers. Wider recognition is truly deserved for this composer and his wonderful music. This recording deserves a listen!"

New Original Sound

"I first heard Eric Ewazen's Oboe Concerto on the radio. It fascinated me immediately. I obtained that as well as this CD. It's new, original, tonal music. The parallels some poeple have identified with Copland is apt & relevant. The sound is expansive, colorful, with enough contrasts to enchant you for as long as it plays. I admire Ewazen's daring of being himself rather injecting some dissonance for the sake of being modern. He is refreshingly modern, melodic & original. Highly recommened."
