Review:
"Although the notes say nothing about it, it seems safe to assume that flutist Julie Duncan Thornton and horn player Michael Thornton have more of a relationship than simply fellow artists on a flute-horn recording. I have heard flute-horn pieces before, but never an entire program of them.…Fine performances. Ms. Thornton is flutist with the Colorado Symphony and teaches at the University of Denver. Mr. Thornton is principal horn of the Colorado Symphony and horn professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder.…" (American Record Guide)
