Review:
“The performances by the Esterhazy Quartet and [Jerome] Lowenthal are excel-lent,…Adler’s music is quite interesting, and it is surprising his works have not had wider exposure outside the academic music world. While clearly contemporary, these are ac-cessible works that will reward listeners in search of something new.” (Audiophile Audition)“The Esterhazy Quartet plays magnificently in this recording, as does pianist Jerome Je-rome Lowenthal. …this is music that should be heard and absorbed… I can (and do) give this release a warm recommendation.” (Fanfare)
