Angelica de la Riva, soprano —
"Young lady, you are a Callas, better than Callas."
Jornal do Brasil (Rio de Janeiro)
Peter Stewart, bass —
" . . . a rich, communicative baritone"
New York Times
Still in Love, the Postindustrial Players' premiere production —
"Cool yet blistering, all imaginable boundaries collapse as terms of psychic warfare are drawn, leaving the listener to sift through the rubble of passionate postmodern love."
Kenny Goldsmith WFMU-FM
"A beautifully constructed, sad, sexy, and witty music theatre piece. It's quite a wonderful work."
Arnold Weinstein, playwright, librettist of William Bolcom's McTeague
Gringo Blaster – composer Michael Kowalski's premiere solo CD —
" . . . one of the year's most enjoyable recordings . . . the title cut, 'Gringo Blaster', is truly one of the most incredible pieces of music in the digital domain this year."
Dwight Loop, The Sun, Santa Fe, NM
"The whole album is like a breath of fresh air."
composer Salvatore Martirano
" . . . here's Chopin, here's Cage, here's Cecil Taylor, all in one extended phrase. Kowalski's wonderfully titled 'Fakebook', for example, is a tour through Western piano literature via a series of random core samples, shifting from Schumann to Joplin to Ravel in the blink of an eye."
John Baxter, Option magazine
