The [Concerto] is neoromantic: soaring melodies, blatantly tonal, and quite purposefully allows the audience access to its artistic message and aesthetic. It is (heaven forfend in these days of academic musical martyrdom) simply beautiful. Structurally the work gives a nod to classical concerto form. The orchestrations are richly complex, replete with color, and underlay the solo role of the cello perfectly: balanced, tasteful, and resilient. -- Wayne F. Anthony in The Blade (Toledo) The premiere performance by cellist Julian Schwarz with the Toledo Symphony, Alexander Prior conducting, can be seen on YouTube.
