What the critics are saying:

“Schoenberg simply dazzles and delights…someone every music-loving audiophile will want to check out.”
– Jason Victor Serinus, Sterophile

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking, however, that just because it’s accessible, it’s simple. There’s craft aplenty in these works, in both the compositional writing and orchestration departments, plus an attention to detail that makes them all the more rewarding.”
– Ron Schepper, Textura

“It’s invigorating, impeccably paced music, and shows the composer’s sure hand with orchestral forces.”
– Andrew Anderson, Theater Jones

“Schoenberg’s music is tonal, beguilingly atmospheric and engagingly melodic.”
– Graham Williams, HRAudio

“His music is very approachable, bringing relevancy, respectfulness and resonance in forward drive.”
– Christie Grimstad, ConcertoNet
