"This recording is a considerable
success. The ensemble playing
is magnificently controlled,
with both intonation and articulation
magnificently blended, and
the results serve the composers
well."

"The Chinook Clarinet Quartet,
a group of incredibly talented,
lively, and obviously dedicated
young musicians entralled
the 100-plus audience with
an imaginatively devised programme,
a programme featuring the
works of a dozen composers
- only one of whom, Smetana,
was not a 20th century musician."
