Reviews:
"...it was music to be savored, and its performance received an enthusiastic standing ovation."

Judith White, The Saratogian

"For all of Mr. Liebermann's obvious technical gifts, he has something far more valuable: emotional honesty. There is rich sentiment and genuine feeling to his music."

Greenville News

"...this piece has the potential to become part of the standard repertoire. This is an emotional piece; it has something to say, and says it with great force and character."
