Press excrepts:

''A great CD!!!! 5 pieces; three new works by IANCU DUMITRESCU (two for chamber ensemble – with electronics – tracking sound to its furthest lairs, and one for Orchestra; two by ANA-MARIA AVRAM, one for Orchestra (''de Sacrae...'' an indispensable classic ) and one for Tape.
Chris CUTLER – ReR RECOMMENDED – London

''Romanian composer IANCU DUMITRESCU and his associate, ANA-MARIA AVRAM, leading figures in the Eastern European school of modern classical music have issued many stunning works through the years, but this is the first to be issued in America.'' Los Angeles, sept.1999

''Of the three CD's issued thus far, one also contains three excellent works by a pupil of his: Ana-Maria AVRAM, whose compositional style is every bit as fascinating and innovative, and is certainly a talent to look out for...''
Alan FREEMAN: ''AUDION'', Leicester , March 1993

''ANA-MARIA AVRAM recently composed a quartand for Kronos, and followed it up with ''Nouvelle Axe'', peformed here by the strings of Romania's Hyperion Ensemble, who also work with DUMITRESCU. It's an uncompromising piece with a tendency to noise throughout, drawing blizzards of pizzicato, high – pitched sounds and lots of glissandos from the panoply of avant garde string effects.''
ANDY HAMILTON: ''THE WIRE'' (49), august 1999, London

''Both Avram and Dumitrescu are convinced that if they have been able to open new doors in music, it is because they have made or found precisely those connections bandween musical activity and inner life that remain unarticulated in conventional musical training. This is not, however, simply a matter of theit philosophy and motivation as artists. The psychological reality if their music is directly grounded in a conception of the acoustic reality iof sound.''
Tim Hodgkinson, ''Musicworks'' No 71, Summer 1998,Toronto.

«Both Avram and Dumitrescu are convinced that if they have been able to open new doors in music, it is because they have made or found precisely those connections between musical activity and inner life that remain unarticulated in conventional musical training. This is not, however, simply a matter of theit philosophy and motivation as artists. The psychological reality if their music is directly grounded in a conception of the acoustic reality iof sound.»
Tim HODGKINSON, Musdicworks No 71, TORONTO, Summer 1998

« ... Works also features three compositions by ANA-MARIA AVRAM, born in Bucharest in 1961. Wonderful to hear music where textural innovations aren't employed to colour pre-existing structures, but evolve form in process. On Zodiaque she plays prepared piano opposite Dumitrescu, a percussionist and magnetic tape.
Seems like these Romanians are engaged in a similar kind of sonic research to that which resulted in the masterpieces of Giacinto Scelsi and Ennio Morricone: collective endeavour, genuine 'deep listenning'. The results are similarly overpowering a milion miles from the tootling inconsecuence of most of what passes for New Music in the classical world.» BEN WATSON – The WIRE, LONDON, May 1995.
