Critical comments on recordings by Fiati:
“The ensemble is precise, well balanced and technically adroit . . . This recording projects the music with an intimate prospective and captures the lovely tones of these players.” [The Clarinet]

“The sound is clear . . . and the players are very fine, obviously comfortable with themselves as a group and with the music.” [American Record Guide]

“The blend, as well as the precision and control, are exemplary, and the oboe/clarinet intonation is remarkably pure. This disc is enthusiastically recommended.” [The Clarinet]
