Boston Globe, July 13, 2015 — “Wyner and Stoltzman, longtime colleagues, seemed to ruminate in tandem while tracing Wyner's musical lineage. The 1939 Sonata by Wyner’s teacher, Paul Hindemith, coursing with well-balanced neo-classicism, was given sturdy, rich treatment; Wyner’s own ‘Commedia,’ from 2003, uses recognizably similar language, but in more free-range fashion, veering from mood to mood with casual volatility. It was tailored to Stoltzman’s idiosyncratic sound and style, tone triangulating between the instrument’s concert-hall purity and its more florid jazz personality, communication generous but also almost reflexively intimate.”
