Very interesting indeed. How adventurous!

A very welcome release!

[Alan Howe]

This is a wonderful CD of absolutely stunningly beautiful music - quite Brahmsian, but well able to stand on its own. Full of melody, with some surprising harmonic turns, and beautifully played and recorded.

[Santo Neuenwelt]

These are great works. We have published and played the Piano Quintet and the Op.11 Quintet for Clarinet, Piano and Strings recorded by the Orion Ensemble on a Cedille CD.

Very much looking forward to the Piano Quartet. And to think that Labor was virtually blind thanks to a childhood case of Smallpox...

These works deserve to be heard in concert and can stand on their own. He is a first rate composer.

[Alan Howe]

These are great works

Indeed they are. Astonishing.
