“McAllister’s evocative renditions and virtuoso artistry throughout the CD [SCENA] enables the music, as well as the saxophone, to transcend the potential pitfalls inherent in an ambitious project of this nature and allow the listener to be embraced by the musical challenges presented for both performer and listener…an excellent CD in both performance and composition of music.”

Frank Bongiorno The Saxophone Symposium

“They [McAllister and Class] give a truly remarkable performance of Lilith…a superior recording.”

William Bolcom

“…the music is dramatic and colorful, requiring all sorts of novel saxophone sounds…high level of musicality in the playing…the musicianship of Duo Nuova is impeccable. McAllister’s tone is creamy, and his fingering and tonguing are impressive.”

Stephen Max American Record Guide

“a fearless musician and risk taker…a one-of-a-kind artist the way Yo-Yo Ma is”

John Adams Pulitzer Prize Laureate and Grammy-winning composer

“…a contrasting sense of solemnity followed…yet moving…”

Jeremy Eichler The New York Times

Charles Downey The Classical Review (Sept 2013)

“Timothy McAllister played a noir-ish tenor sax solo with languorous sensuality”

The Chicago Tribune Hannah Edgar
