An enterprising and finely realized collection of recent works for piano trio (all of them first recordings) Lysander Piano Trio, an ensemble now well established on the American recital circuit, which here gets to display its versatility and conviction in abundant measure." (Arcana)
"Great groundbreaking stuff." (Midwest Record)
"The Lysander Piano Trio's "mirrors" is a totally delicious album you will not want to stop playing, partly because of the Trio's hypnotic proficiency, but it also has an appealing introduction to some noteworthy composers of new music." (Concertonet.com)
"The album draws on reflections, particularly those found with the arts at large…Shafer's lyric soprano suits the wistful melodies [of Higdon's Love Sweet]; the addition of cello and violin to the usual voice – and - piano art song is highly evocative." – BBC Music Magazine, 4 STARS / 4 STARS
