‚…catchy as those old tunes are, the main attraction here is the lovely sound of blended woodwinds, the pastel colours and animal yawps of Jürgen Kupke on clarinet, Michael Thieke usually on alto clarinet and Gebhard Ullmann on bass clarinet …‘
-Kevin Whitehead

… Rarely, however, have I heard a recent recording of either genre, classical or jazz, which I’ve not only enjoyed this much but was thoroughly engrossed in from start to finish … and as I say, somehow or other it all comes together to produce a part written-part spontaneous modern composition that I defy even the cleverest and most cutting-edge classical composer to equal, let alone surpass.
Although I’ve heard and reviewed some very brilliant albums this year, I would place this near the very top of the list. Rest assured that I will be listening to this CD several more times before I pass on.‘
