David Hurwitz of Classics Today reviewed Avner Dorman’s Concertos, and awarded the album a coveted 10/10 rating for artistic quality and sound quality.
“…Metropolis Ensemble under Andrew Cyr sounds absolutely terrific no matter what Dorman asks them to do. This is really good stuff, a genuine discovery, beautifully played and excellently engineered. It will make you feel good about the future of contemporary Classical music.”
Avid music blogger Grego Applegate Edwards reviewed Avner Dorman’s Concertos: “Each of the concertos has the clarity and directness of a baroque concerto… there is a compactness of expression, a delicacy of delivery… and all the freshness of the first spring flower.” Read the article…
Michael Barone of KSJN Minneapolis on Avner Dorman’s Concertos:
“Intrigued by Baroque music since childhood, Dorman has created a collection of ‘modern’ pieces imbued with the formal clarity and rhythmic energy of 18th century music. Make no mistake, these pieces sound 'new’, but they also sound fresh and friendly, and surprisingly 'original’, despite the obvious derivations. Performances are breathtakingly fine, and if you pass by this album you’re missing out on a disarmingly satisfying production. Go for it!”
