Steven, The perfomance is truly wonderful. I appreciate so much the flexibility that you have brought to the interpretation, especially in the variations. I also admire the rest of the CD; I only know the Ponchielli Concerto well and can fully admire your odessy to its fruition. Thank you, again, for including it in this project.

I am also sending this note to Maestro Vertommen. I hope that my fulsome praise may be offered to the bandsmen as well for their incredible work.
