"Think of an American Chopin or Debussy, lost in the American West, composing American preludes and arabesques. . .Benkman's Yosemite Suite lives and breathes both the salon and the wilderness, in rapturous depictions [of Yosemite]...this is a personal and romantic series of portraits for lovers of euphony. Pianist Noel Benkman plays with an aplomb and fluidity that only years of experience may allow." - 20th Century Music

"Beautiful writing and excellent performance--truly a labor of love on both counts." - Tom Bopp, Yosemite Music & Art
