   '... reminders of Copland, Hanson, Bernstein, plenty of minimalists
   and even Chavez are here, but Hailstork is also his own man. Nor
   does this music, unlike a lot of "neotonal" efforts of the past
   few decades, make one immediately think of film music. Hailstork
   is a wonderfully colourful and clear orchestrator, his textures
   uncluttered and structures eminently followable, if sometimes
   overstretched. This might just restore faith in those who think
   that all late 20th century music has come to be full of dense,
   dissonant textures and jagged sounds, and that things like clear
   lines and lightness of texture have become dirty words, especially
   in the groves of academe.'

Paul Sarcich, writing in today's Music & Vision about the Naxos release
of Adolphus Hailstork's Symphonies 2 and 3.
