"The most impressive from the standpoint of technique was solo tenor saxophonist Taimur Sullivan's blistering performance of Philippe Hurel's "Opcit." Wickedly demanding, the four-movement piece required a different tone, weight and color for virtually every bar. From clear, fluid passages to throaty honks and blazing multiphonics, Sullivan hurdled all obstacles with laserlike precision."
Daniel Buckley, Tucson Citizen

"Sullivan...[is] among the growing band of young voices in the wilderness championing the intellectual avant-gardists...Not only dedicated and skilled, but also talented, fearless and sensitive...

Tom Strini, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"...among the best contemporary music virtuosi out there."
Joseph Pehrson, The New Music Connoisseur

Connecticut Post

"superb sax group..."
The New Yorker

Ann Arbor Observer

"[Bolcom's Concerto Grosso], a jazzy update of a showy baroque form, highlighted the PRISM Quartet's flair for syncopated rhythms, bluesy turns and improvised cadenzas. The soloists took ownership of the work, which they had commissioned. Ling and the [Cleveland] orchestra came along for the fun-filled ride."
