Notes and Editorial Reviews
''Grand Pianola Music'' (1982), with its rippling keyboard roulades and big orchestral gestures, pokes fun at the heroics of Romantic concerto writing...and the Chamber Symphony (1992) takes yet another tack, offsetting a Neo-Classicism rooted in Stravinsky and Schoenberg with bursts of cartoonish humor. These pieces aren't brain surgery; they insist that symphonic music can be slyly funny, and fun.
-- Allan Kozinn, The New York Times [11/28/1999]
