Passionate.
The New York Times
Piercy brought forth a sense of mood and appealing emotion helped by his consistently warm and beautiful sound.
The Norway Times
Piercy came out swinging. People could imagine they were hearing the late, great Benny Goodman as Piercy wove to and fro.
The Richmond Times Dispatch
Piercy played with expression and character.
The New York Concert Review
Piercy has it all...extraordinary technique,
a uniquely beautiful sound. He made the clarinet sing.
Le Libre Paris
A classic performance.
The Clarinet Magazine
Extraordinary performances by top players bring distinction to this recording... Piercy shows remarkable virtuosity in some deep emotional terrain.
Times Union, NY
While Ned Rorem’s music is certainly complex, it still possesses a romantic leaning that, especially with the Gotham Ensemble playing, is both thought-provoking and emotive.
New Music Box
Mr. Piercy is masterly on his clarinet.
The New York Sun
...an intense and illuminating musical experience, Tom Piercy met the many technical demands asked for in the work, especially providing colors ranging from warm to astringent.
New Music Connoisseur
The eight musicians include the composer at the piano and they play a score longer than many operas with as much easy energy at the end as at the beginning.
The New York Times
…the contemporary fare here evoked a panache from the players…spirit and accomplishment everywhere…drew out brilliantly the shimmering sonic richness of the nine works on display.
The New York Times
An expressive performance of the virtuosic program.
The New York Times
