Derrick Henry, Classical Music Critic for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution said "I enjoyed your symphony and the part I liked best was the "fun" in it." He said," Too many contemporary composers take themselves too seriously." Philip Rice, Music Director of Orchestra Atlanta (Atlanta, Ga.) said, "There is beautiful music in this symphony. I keep thinking about how extraordinary it is that you have composed this symphony, in light of your background." Joseph Firszt, world renowned conductor and former conductor of the Lima, Ohio Symphony Orchestra said, "Mr. Englefield's Daybreak in the Forest Symphony has a very unique character and is good enough to be performed by any symphony orchestra in the world." Frank Belino, former conductor of the Welsh Hills Symphony Orchestra in Granville, Ohio, home of Denison University, said, "Your music is not contemporary, but rather, has a uniquely personal quality, which is not surprising. Upon listening to your White Face Mtn. symphonic poem, I would classify it almost as American Folk Music, of the 20th Century." Ms. Bernice Bernard, Producer of Music Programming for the Voice of America, Washington, D.C. said, "You know, I always enjoy listening to your new compositions. They are all now in our program library." Michael Rudiakov, Manchester, Vt. Music Festival said "Thank you for sending your wonderful music. I'm playing it now and it is very attractive." Maestro Kirk Trevor, Conductor of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Martinu Philharmonic (Czech Republic) and Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra said, "Mr. Englefield is very talented. It is simply fact. He has gifts." Maestro Jo Ann Falletta, Conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra said, "Thank you for sending your Oratorio 2000. I so much enjoyed listening. Congratulations on your achievement. Bravo! " Maestro David H. Bailey (retired), former Music Director of the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra said, "The enthusiasm and joy of Englefield's music is wonderful. Such qualities are often lacking in the music of other contemporary composers." Simon James, Principal Violinist for the Seattle Symphony and First Violin for the Northwest Synfonia Orchestra said, "Mr. Englefield's Violin Concerto is quite good enough to be performed by any orchestra in the world. Simon James, later, recorded Englefield's Violin Concerto with the Slovak Radio Symphony." Michael Koss, President & C.E.O. Koss Classics said, "I enjoyed your London Symphony CD very much. Your music is quite accessible." John Boyden, Mastering Engineer, London Symphony Orchestra said, "I have again been listening to your LSO CD and enjoying it very much. Such music should not be ignored." Site Designed & Developed by DesignExtensions.com |
