Reviews:
"...an appealing score rich in contrapuntal dialogues and lush harmonies...."

Allan Kozinn, New York Times

"I think of Liebermann primarily for his lush orchestral work or his marvelous solo piano nocturnes which, despite being frimly rooted in a Post-Romantic sound world, could not have been written in any other time but our own. His Nocturne-Fantasy, composed in 2000, is an equal amalgam of past and present, but the expansiveness of his phrases has particular poignancy on guitars which have rarely been involved in performing music of this type."
