review extracts: for full reviews click here
“This is a disc very much in the true Metier mould of challenging and probing our musical senses. It is however a disc that offers undoubted rewards upon repeated listening for those who allow themselves to become immersed in the "plot". The performances by Firebird are accomplished and it is to be hoped that we hear more from them in recordings to come.” - MusicWeb
“This is a well-planned programme, covering several generations of composers, as well as different styles… attractive and fascinating items.” - Denby Richards (Musical Opinion)
“I’ve been soaking up new releases of 20th-century Italian music, wonderful discoveries among them. It is good to know that a rewarding program of contemporary Italian music can be made without relying upon Donatoni and Berio. We should hear more of the Firebird Ensemble.” – Grant Chu Covell (LaFolia)
