REVIEW:
Ronald Klimko, The Double Reed
" ... a sparkling gem from the very talented Gernot Wolfgang ... Like other Wolfgang works, this one also relies heavily on the style and gestures of jazz and popular-oriented music. It is a real beauty of a work - difficult, but extremely accessible, even on first listening."
