Chicago Tribune

Reno Gazette-Jounrnal

“Superb recording . . . brilliant performance . . . the virtuosity of Baxtresser is nothing less than stunning.”
Cedar Rapids Gazette

“These works demand and receive real virtuosity form Baxtresser. The exalted lyricism of the C.P.E. Bach, in which soloist and tutti engage in increasingly tender and impassioned discourse in the slow movement, a cantilena leading up to a memorable cadenza, is especially remarkable.”
The Pulsebeat of Atlanta
