The Renaissance City Winds of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“Interesting programs with well-defined interpretations. Their variety of articulation and attention to dynamics are admirable”

“Expert wind players… attractive program… enjoyable.

“An idyllic outing of music… As is a custom with the Renaissance City Winds, the program contained works that are played infrequently but deserve their time in our ears. All of the performances were stylish and unpressured… Balances were fine, the shaping expressive.”

“Playing with excitement, musicality, and daring”

“Sensitive and thoroughly lovely performance.”

“Nothing short of brilliant.”

“Nice timbral contrasts… the scale of this music and the breadth of the sound evoke the sweeping phrases and drama of Strauss. These three pieces are really lovely”

“Fine security of ensemble with appealing timbre.”

Not the least bit ‘listener unfriendly’ but it couldn’t have been written at any other time but now. [Nancy Galbraith’s Rhythms and Rituals is] an example of the kind of piece that should be the ‘sound of classical music’ on today’s radio stations.”

“You played my pieces the way I had always imagined them.”

“Your performance of my Three Pieces for Three Woodwinds was excellent; the best I’ve heard.”
