"The VO Orchestra under the direction of Leslie Dala was formidable. Full of bombast and sensitivity in equal measure... Dala navigated the difficult score with consummate skill that was musically brilliant."

“The new recording by Leslie Dala, a conductor and pianist based in Vancouver, brings in a solitary air of an artist who has found stillness. Dala has a natural pianistic affinity for Glass’ compositional language. He experiments with a wealth of colours found in these etudes but never strays away from the classical pianistic tradition. A strong percussion touch accentuates the fluid motion of the music. The result is an album that is refined and rich, natural in its expression.”
