MCQUILLAN Alto Saxophone Concerto. 1 Equilibrium. QUALLIOTINE Lamentations. Where the Forest Ends • Julius P. Williams (cond); 1 Roman Fojticek (sax); Dvořák SO • CENTAUR CRC 3180 (61:43)"

"The better part of the music on this disc is slow and introspective, and unfailingly beautiful in its effect upon the listener. Rich rewards will attend the careful listener, and I give this CD a hearty two thumbs up for its superb sonics, performances, and music."
