| "The CD Classic Gypsy gets 3½ Stars." |
| |
| "Ioan Harea, Virtuosi Orchestra, Richard Stout conducting (Dark Skippy Records)" |
| |
| "One needn't take the "classical" label to seriously here, but if you've got the slightest fondness for gypsy music, you'll find this confection irresistible." |
| |
| "It includes chestnuts such as Two Guitars, Hot Canary and Csardaz; along with less familiar pieces such as The Pony Express, all served up in luscious, lounge orchestra style arrangements." |
| |
| "Ioan Harea has been on the Ottawa music scene for many years - or, more exactly, on its periphery. A brilliant violinist, he is heard now and then with his own ensemble or sometimes playing in a local orchestra. But mostly he follows his own path, which, though it takes him through the standard classical repertoire, leads him most characteristically through the fields and meadows of the gypsy repertoire." |
| |
| "With only 36 minutes of music, this CD will strike some as chintzy, but the36 minutes are unmitigated fun." |
