“The technique, professionalism, and musicianship of the choral groups—the Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Artefact Ensemble—are outstanding and the highlight of the recording, as are the soloists, all of whom appear to be featured members of the ensembles.”
Read More“Nova is a great retrospective of his work … This is a fascinating collection and one perfectly enjoyed with your morning coffee and, of course, a bagel with Nova lox.”

Read More“Current has written music that finds its way deep into your soul and continues to make its home there during the 78 minutes of music on this recording. Conductor Long, the Continuum Ensemble and the entire cast perform Missing beautifully.”
Read More"...an excellent CD on which Porter fully exploits the tonal qualities of the on-loan 1740 Carlo Bergonzi violin."
Read More“This is a deeply emotional album that is both satisfying and stimulating.”
Read More“This is an impressive piece that needs to be seen across Canada … It tackles a difficult and emotionally charged issue in a way that makes good theatre.”
Read More“Charles Bruffy and the Kansas City Chorale have also explored this legendary caravan route, discovering musical treasures which they offer on their new album The Mirage Calls … While the Escobedo captures the splendor of the Sistine Chapel, the other songs are gorgeous evocations of the Silk Road.”
Read More“Now available in Pedja Muzijevic’s scrupulous and thoughtful recording, the piece can be experienced either day by day or as a self-standing, 21-movement cycle. I tried both and found different things to marvel at in this openly expressive music.”

Read More“This important — arguably long overdue — album spotlights two versatile mid-20th century artists whose music fell into neglect. These strong performances by the Experiential Orchestra will hopefully spark a resurgence in the music of these exceptional composers.”
Read More“The two violas coil and flicker as they dance around each other with water-tight synchronicity … A smart and really rather cool project, it is ideally presented in natural binaural sound and really shines on headphones”
