"...a talent to be reckoned with."
-- San Francisco Examiner

"...beautifully recorded...all well-crafted...memorable moments...propulsive flourishes..."
-- Brett Campbell, Eugene Weekly

"...skillfully made...exciting virtuosity...brilliant scherzo..."
-- American Record Guide, re: "Four Visions for One, Two and Three Pianos."

"...most heartfelt and appropriate... decidedly Coplandesque in its harmonic language, yet with something original to say as well."
-- New York Times; re: Svoboda's Chorale in E flat (homage to Aaron Copland) Op. 118 for Piano Quintet

"Often slipping from winsome reverie into bursts of energetic irregular rhythms that seize a listener's attention, the music has a wide emotional range..."
-- Brett Campbell, Andante

"Ever since we got our first look at some of his music we have been convinced of his marvelous talent."
-- The Piano Quarterly

"...with lots of catchy tunes and rhythmic twists augmenting the expected pianistic virtuosity. There's considerable variety in tempo and energy-level, but the mood is typically straightforward and unexaggerated, and the style is a consistent, easily approachable, modern-but-conservative idiom based on enriched tonal harmonies and traditional procedures and textures."
-- American Record Guide

"...as talented in playing the piano as he is in writing for it."
-- Los Angeles Times

"...bridges the gap between tonal and atonal music..."
"...dramatic and often texturally complex."
"...a totally personal and very interesting musical voice."
-- David Denton, Fanfare Magazine
