Most exciting,
By Antony J. Sluce (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Doors (Audio CD)
I have just played Daniels CD and really enjoyed it. The rhythmic drive was most exciting and he had some catchy melodies. I will be interested to follow his career.

Exciting new contemporary music,
By Peter Bunce (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Doors (Audio CD)
Having listened to the disc, I found all the pieces truly electrifying. I love the way the music combines elements of jazz with the more 'classical' sound. I particularly enjoyed the different moods that were suggested and rarely did I lose concentration during any the pieces. I look forward to more music from Daniel Hewson and his ensemble!

new piano quintet original and exciting,
By maryann (manchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Doors (Audio CD)
thank you dan for creating a new piano quintet - original and exciting yet 'listenable'. the other tracks are very good too; piano solos, string quartet, duet for cello and piano. the whole cd is beautifully performed and produced. makes me want to play it again and again. it will appeal especially to cellists, pianists and string quartet players, as well as the general listener.
