they play like it. The music here is all Canadian, and all world premiere recordings; covers a wide
range of styles and moods, all carefully and capably handled. And the recording is bright, clear and
open. Five stars. ”

these instruments...The recorded sound is gorgeous, with a full, natural bloom and superb balance.”
