Reviews

  • Fanfare Magazine

    [Hobson] has a fine ear for instrumental color and dynamic contrast. . . I find some of the ideas Hobson uses to plan his music's shape fascinating and the results dramatically effective. Contrasts juxtaposes piano and strings, which alternately share and provoke responses in a convincing timbral and thematic dialog.

    – Robert Schulslaper
