'This music is excitement personified, and ought to win this composer a lot of admirers-and performances. Indeed, this composer's ear for color, combined with his inventiveness, sets him above the mass of composers of our time. This is inspired music of the highest caliber, and belongs in the collection of any serious devotee of contemporary music. The disc receives my highest recommendation, and will be a strong Want List contender, not only for the music, but for the superb performances offered by Sakari Oramo and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as the superb sonics on this Alba Super Audio CD. Do not pass this one up!'David DeBoor Canfield / Fanfare Magazine
