Reviews:

“This disc is subtitled ‘For Ursula’. All six of these recent pieces were written with Oppens in mind; probably no American could write music for the piano today without thinking of her unflappable technique and her innate musical understanding.”
–James H. North, Fanfare

“Oppens plays everthing with her customary brilliance and dedication.”
–Mark L. Lehman, American Record Guide

“To each work, no matter how disparate in content and style, Oppens brings both a formidable technique and an unerring ear for seductive sonority.”
–Michael Walsh, TIME
