“Intense emotional worlds… The Polish-American composer evokes dramatic and psychological atmospheres as if Bartók and Shostakovich were looking over his shoulder, but with his own sense of urgency, rhythm and colour.”

– Gramophone Magazine, Donald Rosenberg

“Horror, despair, sobbing – all this could be heard in this piece. When it was over, there was a long silence. … In the end, there was a prolonged applause. There were congratulations – often with tears of emotion in their eyes.”
-Gazeta Stargardzka
