Reviews:

"...an audience of some 2,500 other flutists...recognizing a sure-fire crowd pleaser, gave the performance a cheering standing ovation."

The New York Times

"This delightful work was full of eerie beauty and rollicking good humor; it certainly confirmed his status as one of his generation's finest composers."

Lindsay Koob, Charleston Post and Courier
