Reviews:

“Both of these discs are keepers, mother lodes to be mined in the years to come.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay

“The three soloists are evidently believers, and their eloquence and commitment are adroitly reinforced by the superbly prepared Seattle band. Each of these concertos has far more to offer than might immediately meet the ear. They offer a sleek and challenging beauty and I encourage the curious to make their acquaintance forthwith. As with all three pieces, Bridge’s sound is spectacular and atmospheric.” - MusicWeb International
