Reviews:
"This plaintive, mournful excursus into neo-Romanticism...is half-Scriabin, half-Chopin, and wholly Liebermann. It unfolds like a flower, petal by petal, into full-blown complexity and exquisite beauty...Its seven minutes of remarkably affecting music are certain to find a place in other recitals quickly. Most deservedly so, too."
