Reviews:

"Liebermann has succeeded in... balancing bravura and a wealth of attractive musical ideas to create a score that invites repeated listening. He is a masterful orchestrator, and just from that standpoint the new concerto is immediately arresting. (It) brought down the house."

Barrymore Lawrence Scherer, The Wall Street Journal

"...a wonderfully well-made study in neo-romanticism with a darkly lyrical slow movement and a raucously witty finale...The audience ate it up, as did I, and my guess is that it will enter the standard repertoire very quickly, and with good reason."

Terry Teachout, The Washington Post
