„…two accomplished saxophonists and composers with many years of experience in leading large ensembles are now forming a double female leadership.“
„To focus on strong ideas while using a wide a range of instruments and timbres, and never to drift into labyrinths, is the FUCHSTHONE Orchestra’s asset…“
„The large cast created a powerful blend based on a free sound fantasy, symphonic splendor, improvised ferocity, and lyrical bluntness.“
