“Thanks so much for sending me the CD of your works.\u00a0 I have enjoyed listening to them immensely…You do a good job in blending a mix of styles in your writing, which is not easy to do.\u00a0 In many senses, you’re the\u00a0 best kind of musician\/composer to have out there, because this is the way music is moving, and you’ve already got a knack for this…I liked all of the works.”–Jennifer Higdon, Pulitzer Prize winning composer<\/tt><\/small><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n

on Bessarabica<\/em>:\u00a0 “I think it is a great piece!\u00a0 I’m sure it is real fun playing it…I liked the cadenza in the second [movement] a lot!\u00a0 The fourth has a wonderful rhythm in the accompaniment (some Klezmer, some even [sic]<\/em> Jazz] and the ‘Schmaltz’ suits perfect to describe the melody…I liked especially the ending a lot!”\u00a0 Shirley Brill, Israeli clarinet student at New England Conservatory…<\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n

“I am at work and I decided to have a listen to the CD you gave me…I am on the 3rd movement of the Bessarabica. I had to stop and tell you how amazing you are – and I am not even finished yet.\u00a0 I was taken within the first few seconds – such a great feeling of this Bohemian gypsy dance like thing and I LOVE IT!!!\u00a0 I am going to finish listening now.” Michelle T, soprano<\/small><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Thank you very much for contacting me regarding this wonderful project; it was so much fun to play!\u00a0 I do very much appreciate your musical,emotional and financial commitments to this; I…really enjoyed playing along with my fellow musicians.
