Oboe Quartet by Yehudi Wyner (now under construction--Wyner Oboe Quartet web tour.)
Romancero by Mario Davidovsky, featuring soprano Tony Arnold Romancero is a group of settings of traditional Spanish poems, offering a foretaste of Davidovsky's work in progress for Cygnus--setting of Hebrew love poetry from Muslim and Christian Spain, utilizing banjo, mandolin, guitar, winds and strings. "Moving with impeccable precision through the angular leaps and unpredictable melodic turns of Davidovsky's song cycle "Romancero,'' soprano Tony Arnold brought witty seductiveness to the opening song ... accompanied by a small ensemble, her austere "Sad was King David'' was moving, each carefully shaped note glowing like a teardrop in the slow, widely spaced melody."-----Wynne Delacoma, classical music critic, Chicago Sun-Times - 4/29/2002
Traverso by Chester Biscardi “Biscardi’s music is clear-line and remarkably accessible in its expressivity.” - Fanfare Magazine
“All the works by Biscardi share a common ground in that they are expressive, sensitive and convincing.” - American Record Guide
