New CD Release Review (Albany Records)

"Pozzi Escot's five-minute plus Clarinet Concerto is a gorgeous blend of clarinet and soprano, an anti-Shepherd on the Rock, mysterious, sometimes vampire-movie creepy, a song you might hear sung by a siren near a rocky coastline, ending abruptly, like a silent crashing wave." David Wolman, Fanfare Magazine, NY "Great recording. I have never heard the Escot piece beroe. I love how the voice is used as an instrumnet. It is like a soundtrack to a nightmare. Definitely cool." Adam Price, Magazine33, LLC, Charlottesville, VA

"An absolutely stunning Clarinet Concerto! Stellar performance here." Prof. Helen de Zubicaray, Everton Park, Qld., Australia
