Acclaim for Shaun Tirrell's March, 1999 Kennedy Center debut:

"Impressive control of phrasing and dynamics... expressive freedom and emotional depth... Demanding virtuoso technique without putting it on display for its own sake."
Joseph McLellan, Washington Post

About Passage: "Music moves me most deeply at moments of change in my life. In those moments, sharp contrasts of emotion and circumstance give rise to a freedom, an urgency to divine the direction of one's life in ways that are not possible when one simply rides the belt of a people mover from one event to the next. All three works on this recording celebrate passages, or transitions, in the lives of the composers." - Anthony Ellsworth Scoville - June, 1999
