I find it essential to perform the music of young composers, even ones that are just starting out, and I try to separate my own likes or dislikes from the need to let everyone be heard. From the hundreds of scores I receive yearly, Carter Pann's stood out for their boldness and outrageousness. From the first glance, his orchestration technique seenied far advanced for someone still in school. What could be considered derivative musical ideas at first hearing, or even imitative, on further acquaintance appear well-planned, distilled through the composer's special voicе. The frequent quotes of other composers take on a rather different light as seen through the eyes of Carter Pann, and the recurring and sudden changes of styles produce a different effect from those of one of his teachers, the brilliant American composer William Bolcom. - José Serebrier
"All of Pann's works are good-natured and his musical jokes do work in a larger context rather then merely calling attention to themselves. The composer's piano teacher at Eastman, Barry Snyder, plays the concerto with exuberance, poetry, and authority, and the orchestra plays with flair and accuracy for composer/conductor José Serebrier. The recorded sound is excellent, and, in sum, this is a recording of contemporary music that can be enjoyed by any listener." ClassicsToday 9/9
