AfriClassical.com discusses the recording Midnight Tolls on the Julius P. Williams page:
Midnight Tolls, Albany Records ALB 844 (2006) consists of four works performed by the Dvorak Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Julius P. Williams. The album's namesake and opening work, Midnight Tolls, was also composed by Julius Williams. Next is Seasons of Gold by Lee T. McQuillan, with Linda Lister, soprano. The third work is Mystic Valley Autumn by Armand Qualliotine. Martin Hybner plays vibraphone, and Dagmar Platilova plays harpsichord. The CD ends with Symphony No. 1 by Thomas Hojnacki. AlbanyRecords.com quotes from two reviews of the disc:
'The program that Williams has assembled has a remarkable fluidity...The Dvorak Symphony Orchestra plays nimbly and, when required, with power... (Fanfare)'
'...lovely, professional, and charmingly old-fashioned... (American Record Guide)'
