Reviews:
"...filled the hall with almost magical sounds of great beauty and color."

Somerset Herald

"The recital seemed to reach its highest point during "Gargoyles," an amazing composition by Lowell Liebermann."

The Daily World (Arkansas)

"Lowell Liebermann's final piece from his GARGOYLES (a dazzling neo-romantic Toccata) produced an audience response close to hysteria."
