" I was profoundly moved by Daniel Bolshoy's performance of McGillicuddy's Rant; he has a deep understanding of the music, as well as amazing technical proficiency. He is a fantastic musician! "

Clark Winslow Ross, Composer

" Daniel Bolshoy has chosen a program that has enough meat for people who like really to listen to their music. The fact that he plays the four works on the program beautifully makes the collection all the more congenial.

The title of the CD is taken from Clark Winslow Ross's 11-movement theme and variations of the same name. A gently polytonal piece, it is concise and not overly serious, but deliciously spiced in its harmonies. This is its first recording.

Sonatas by Manuel Ponce and Antonio José are also included, along with Brazillian guitarist/composer Sergio Assad's delicately coloured Aquarelle Suite pour guitar."

"Now here's a CD that Ottawa retailers will have no trouble moving. Julie Nesrallah is undoubtedly the favourite young mezzo-soprano of area music lovers, and her partner is an esteemed guitarist who performs here often, and to enthusiastic audiences.

Most people like Spanish music, and this duo has a track record of colourful, passionate renditions of the stuff, beautifully sung and played. The CD is no disappointment. One of the nicest offerings is Joaquin Rodrigo's Adela. Tender and melodic, Nesrallah sings it with great charm and Bolshoy's accompaniment is a model of sensitivity. The only offering most people are likely to have heard is de Falla's Siete Canciones Populares Espanolas, and it's safe to say that few will have heard it done this well.

Bolshoy is on his own for a lovely set of 12 Valses Poeticos by Granados, which he executes with a sense of familiar style ."
