"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."
