"... beautifully captured the rich sounds of Bram Beekman's fine performances. Recommended."
- ClassicalCDReview.com
"... a breathtakingly beautiful performance ... truly excellent playing of Mr. Beekman ... highly recommended!"
- Audiophile Audition
"The music was so full and rich that I could not believe my ears ... this is what music is supposed to sound like. The portrayal of the pipes was greatly moving and aurally pleasing in a way that left me wanting nothing more than a few more tracks on the end of the album."
- High Fidelity Review
