JEREMY REYNOLDS

"While Reynolds performs each note with resonating precision, he also holds our attention throughout the compositions that each involve a panoply of sounds. Supporting his effort, the recording itself is completely clear of noise, a tribute to the recording engineer... this recording is well worth exploring."

Joel C. Thompson, Cherry Grove Music Review [June 2014]

"The post-Romantic sound world has changed in many ways, some dramatic and others subtle, and the alterations are particularly interesting when it comes to music for a single instrument.. [Kubizek's Capriccio ] offers half a dozen well-contrasted vignettes that include a very short and interestingly labeled Adagio sensibile, a bright and lively Allegretto capriccioso, a heartfelt Più lento e molto espressivo whose squeals show how far from Romantic sensibilities it lies, and a concluding Agitato filled with rhythmic and expressive changes – all of which Jeremy Reynolds handles with aplomb and a fine sense of tonal balance... [Werdin's Impressionen für klarinette solo] is in six very short movements – the longest just reaches two minutes – and gives the soloist plenty of opportunities to demonstrate a wide range of performance techniques, with all of which Reynolds appears to be totally comfortable.... [this disc] packs in a considerable amount of exploration of woodwind sounds that go well beyond those of the Romantic era."
