"...a recording of excellence, in scope and delivery, from a truly virtuosi performer"

"Thornton's technique, to be frank, is superb but more than that, it is guided by a deep understanding and love for the music and for his instrument......Lovers of fine brass playing will find much to enjoy here. If you have never heard the euphonium as a solo instrument before, Thornton will convince you as few others can."
