For anyone that plays classical or modern saxophone, this recording is a must. Gwozdz is an excellent player and offers interesting interpretations for the listener. I give this recording four stars.

Lawrence Gwozdz and Lois Leventhal approach perfection in tone color and expression in this beautiful recording. This CD, as with his latter two, contains a diverse collection of pieces that will appeal to the hearts of saxophone ethusiasts around the world. A must!

The musicianship is remarkable! The Air and Scherzo is a delight to listen to. Dr. Gwozdz has a beautiful tone from low B-flat to altissimo.
