IN THE WORDS OF MUSIC CRITICS:

"You will come away very impressed by the Duo."
John Guinn, Oakland Press

"What makes the music sing is the Dearing's lovely tonal blend, secure phrasing and the way Steven's clean articulation and steady rhythm lays the foundation for Abha's warm approach to melody. The sound world is elegantly formal...while the duet sports a seductively intimate blend..."
Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press

"Steven's vigourous readings by the Brazilian composer Jorge Morel are among the instrumental delights. Abha sings in a beautiful soprano...richly textured...passionate...Marvelous program of duets...there is definate artistic dialogue going on here."
Ted Shaw, Windsor Star (back)

"The DCD transports listeners to a different time and space...and transform the very air around them with a gentle magic that allows the music to come alive. The beautiful textures and tones convince the listener that there's much more going on than one guitar and one flute. The sounds and colors fill the spaces, pulling the listener into a peaceful daydream."
Ralp Valdez, NPR station WDET

"...Technically assured and rhythmically sprightly...Polished, dynamic performances."
George Bulanda, Hour Magizine (back)
