This recording features the outstanding accordion virtuoso Joseph Petric, who provides the listener with a provocative and well integrated programme of works for solo accordion, accordion with electronic tape, and accordion in chamber music settings by six Canadian composers.

« This selection is provocative and well contrasted…ample ingenuity in this eclectic programme of music »

– Peter Grahame Woolf, Classical Net Review
