Description

Reviews
"Fisher Tull's Dialogues did as intended, to serve as a showpiece for Houghton's considerable talents and to offer concerto-style the work of a percussion soloist with a full symphony orchestra. I would say on that score Dialogues is a fine demonstration of how to do new things in music with style, insight and intelligence. It was also enjoyable to watch and hear."
- D. Richelieu, San Antonio Express-News
"The audience was so enthusiastic that there were long gaps between movements because of the applause, and afterwards it was joined by an enthusiastic response from the orchestra, the highest compliment for a musician."
- R. Merritt, Richmond Times-Dispatch
