REVIEWS

"Alpher's music is all his own, and it is remarkably good. One can view Alpher's work...as an extension of Bernstein's melodic style; as such, it is remarkably rare."

"One cannot wait to offer a number of comments on David Alpher's Kerouac. But perhaps the most impressive measure of the work was that Kerouac succeeded in holding its own, and sticking in the memory, up against a superb performance of that monument of stupefying perfection--Mozart's Clarinet Quintet in A."

--The Star-Ledger, Newark, NJ
