"Throughout the program, the group plays with faultless ensemble and intonation; the recorded sound is exemplary...Vento Chiaro easily outclasses most wind quintets that have greater seniority and more recordings to their credit, providing an entertaining and expertly-played recital. Once again, this disc makes one hope for more CDs of core wind quintet repertoire from the same source."
—Fanfare

“ Spotless finger work, sensitive linear phrasing, crisp accents and a thoughtfully blended tone quality that never obscured main melodies contributed to an ideal listening experience.”

“ This woodwind quintet paid scrupulous heed to clean ensemble playing. Not a musical hair was mussed during the entire program.”
—The Enterprise

“... the day of the woodwind quintet may be dawning...They played with muscular thrust and individualized character in Nielsen's Quintet, Opus 43, a piece that rewards assertive solo thinking.”
