Guy Rickards, Gramophone Magazine

RECORDING OF THE MONTH, October 2012: “…huge commitment and brilliant flair revealing every nuance…”
Steve Arloff, MusicWeb International

 

“…a brilliant revelation… unforgettable….a superb performance…”
Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

 

“Ensemble Epomeo does both composers a great service with their precise, lively and stylistically astute performances. The clarity in all the textures allows both men’s contrapuntal innovations to shine through… the quality of these performances may help to initiate a new era in the reception of their works, and especially of Gál’s. His Serenade definitely deserves a central place in the recital repertoire, even if it requires performances of this high standard to make its many qualities fully apparent.
Gavin Dixon, Classical CD Reviews

 

“Five stars….Their sense of ensemble is democratic, their attention to the score attentive and respectful, and their tone warm and welcoming. ”
Byzantion, MusicWeb International

 

“Wow!”
Andrew Patner, WFMT- Chicago

 

“highly persuasive”
Michael Dervan, Irish Times

 

“the three instrumentalists of Ensemble Epomeo…play superbly individually and as a team, and with obvious commitment”
Colin Anderson, The Classical Source

 

“When you encounter such inspired playing —wonderfully executed and, at times, absolutely breathtaking performances by players at the top of their game, up close and personal— all this talk about the what’s what of the program becomes mere sport.”

Newburyport Arts Journal

 

Please feel free to read about the trio, get to know David, Caroline and Ken or read about our innovative youth programs.

 

“I was, however, entranced. Caroline’s lyricism took on urgency and magnetism. She was drawing the viola and cello and me all to her. David’s tone deepened and was beautiful and sad. Ken was inexhaustible, portraying lightness and a gorgeous strength simultaneously.”

Award-winning composer, Kile Smith
