| "The CD, Versatility gets 3½ stars." |
| |
| "CD by Ioan Harea from (Dark Skippy Records)" |
| |
| "The title says it all: Violinists don't come much more versatile than Ioan Harea, an Ottawa Musician who has been around a long time, plays brilliantly but is not well known to area music lovers." |
| |
| "Why might that be? Versatility. Harea doesn't confine his playing to any particular genre. That may be a virtue from some points of view, but it's not a good way to develop much of a following." |
| |
| "A few years ago he produced a CD of Gypsy music. This time it's arrangements for violin and other instruments of various classic pieces. There are some by Haydn and Beethoven, along with some less known composers." |
| |
| "There are two pieces for violin and guitar by Ottawa Musician Roddy Ellias. One of them, Sandra, is a loving tribute to his wife and among the most attractive offerings on the CD." |
