Quotes from the liner notes, by Enrico Pieranunzi:
...this is something much more intriguing and exciting
...they’ve done a truly wonderful job and given it their all; each of my compositions has been treated with great imagination and feeling.
Very strong all through the CD is the musicians’ clear intention to tune in to my sensibilities, something that is obvious both in the choice of selections as well as in their treatment.
I humbly accept it as a loving gift, ... in the way that I feel the pieces on this CD are loved.
