“Repackaged audiophile recordings, analogue to HDCD, at one-third the earlier CD price! These performances are so sure-footed they really let us hear the internal workings of the music, every syncopation and jazzy inflection spot-on. With their superb stereo separation the recordings earn a strong recommendation. —CB, HiFiNews (U.K.)

“An eclectic mix of original works and arrangements, all brilliantly performed and recorded with clarity and natural warmth. These are highly enjoyable discs and warmly recommended” —Adrian Smith, MusicWeb International

“One will rarely hear these lightish works put across with the kind of technical polish and full-metal virtuosity they receive here. The sterling musicianship of Chicago Pro Musica is beyond reproach; the set is made even more attractive by its two-for-one price” —Lawrence A. Johnson, GRAMOPHONE
