Pizzicato „This is territory in which Frank Dupree feels at home, and his lively, energetic playing is captivating. (…) Frank Dupree handles the complex rhythms wonderfully and makes the piece very entertaining.“
Rondo Magazin „Die Einspielung mit dem Solisten Frank Dupree und dem Komponisten am Pult des ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien dürfte den Nerv dieses einsätzigen, noch nicht einmal halbstündigen Werks aber besonders präzise treffen. Denn Dupree ist, was die radikale musikalische Offenheit angeht, quasi ein Enkel im Geiste des mittlerweile 83-jährigen Wieners.“
