Reviews...
“These are tasteful and enjoyable arrangements that are every bit as challenging (particularly for the upper strings) as the originals. While not material for grade-school orchestras, these arrangements might be just right for advanced high-school string groups or professionals looking for demanding gig material. They work very well as string quartets--as my colleagues at Boston Baroque can attest--and I would imagine that a bass would enhance the experience. The parts are handily spiral-bound and contain copious bar-numbers...quite user-friendly. Nice arrangements of great works. Check them out!”
