This {Poems} is one of the most entertaining and moving works I have heard for wind quintet, beautifully handled by this New York-based group.... I am particularly moved by Husa’s recent music. D. Moore American Record Guide July/August 2004

Oliveros - the whole work is improvisatory ...Thus, the musicianship of the Quintet becomes even more impressive. Rubin - highly accessible in its infectious tune and rhythms...This is a wonderful group of musicians with wonderful tone, great ensemble... and interests in a wide range of styles.. Robert Carl, Fanfare, March/April 1997

With the Manhattan School of Music Chamber Sinfonia, Glen Cortese, conductor.
Each member of the Quintet of the Americas is a virtuoso in his or her own right....The sound on this MMC disc is extraordinary, and a good thing when dealing with the kaleidoscopic orchestrations of a McKinley or a Sierra. Elliott S. Hurwitt, Schwann OPUS Summer 1997

Quintet of the Americas certainly knows how to pick new music; or is it simply that their gorgeous playing makes it all sound do good? I think it is both, and this has become one of my favorite discs of new music for winds. James H. North, Fanfare, Jan/Feb 1992

...some of Villa-Lobos’ seldom-heard pieces...including Choros 3 for male voices and 7 winds, as well as the three Typical Brazilian Songs of 1919 and the Fugue on a Popular Brazilian Theme. ...It’s easy to recommend this nicely performed and recorded collection of enjoyable music. Lehman, American Record Guide, July/August 1992
