Reviews
- “
"[Mozart's] clarinet music, written late in life, has a Schubertian, valedictory quality, not to mention an unearthly beauty.... Osborn...and his colleagues turn in a performance...that is absolutely delightful."
- “
"...Osborn and [the Ballard Quartet] hook the listener right away with their beautiful sound, polished technique, great teamwork, perfect balance, and superb musicianship. ...This group not only plays with soul, but they know when to have fun."
- “
"Osborn has the easy facility that the older schools of European tuition gave to the wind players who endured them, and he seems to glide through the music."
