Reviews
- “
“These pieces are excellent additions to the flute, clarinet, and piano repertoire or clarinet and piano repertoire. …The Scott-Garrison Duo accompanied by Rajung Yan brings this music to life and set the bar high for outstanding chamber music performance.”
- “
“I found this disc to be a refreshing, light but not insubstantial mood-lifter for those days when everything seems black, and I recommend it on that basis.”
- “
“Dorff’s music is easy enough to listen to without becoming anydyne. It sounds fresh rather than just simple.”
- “
“The accomplished Idaho-based duo of flutist Leonard Garrison and clarinetist Shannon Scott, with pianist Rajung Yang, present an expert recording of [Daniel] Dorff’s music that captures the lyricism and enthusiasm present in his works. …an excellent CD of in-teresting yet accessible repertoire performed by high-caliber and sensitive musicians.”
