Reviews

The Arabesque Winds "played with skill and depth beyond their years. Solos in Hindemith's 'Kleine Kammermusik' showcased the musicians' individual talents, which were formidable (as their bios -- already full of touring, recording, and gigs as principal players in Upstate New York orchestras -- would lead you to expect). But it was the unanimity of their ensemble phrasing that took the breath away, particularly in the manic scales chasing up and down the staff and ping-ponging from instrument to instrument in Eugene Bozza's 'Scherzo.'
