"This reviewer never realized that (the accordion) could produce such a variety of tonal mixtures and rich sound effects...Vitality, power, coupled with subtlety, delicacy and artistic taste were notable features of the playing. The wide range of dynamics was almost inconceivable. Every shade of tone comparable to those obtained by woodwinds and horns of a symphony orchestra came out with fine clarity." Stanley Bligh, The Vancouver Sun (1961)
