“Colorful new works.” Gramophone.
“Illuminating, entrancing recital…Muradian’s
concertos [are] a real treasure-trove to be mined…Kosin’s movements are quite
lovely—delicate and alluring…Biggs’ work deserves the widest possible
exposure…LaTraille’s Quintet [gives us] scintillating, enjoyable music that
enhances not only listener pleasure but intellectual stimulation as well. Who
says modern music was stale? This release proves them wrong!” American Record Guide
“Christ’s musicianship is unequivocally
dead-on, and the same can be said for his colleagues.” Fanfare
“The oboe’s many facets are explored in
colourful and listener-friendly ways…Muradian’s three movements abound in
lively and lyrical writing that lends itself beautifully to this intimate
setting. Kosins’ Rendezvous and Dreams [has] considerable panache…Biggs trips
the international light fantastic to vibrant effect. LaTraille whips up spicy
melodic and rhythmic ingredients.” Gramophone
