Review:
... his Piano Sonata of 1990 is one of the most significant works in the form since the great Piano Sonata of Elliott Carter. [Jim Svejda, The Record Shelf Guide to Classical CDs & Audio cassettes, - 4th Edition]

The work lasts some 16 minutes, and fills that time span with a sure and engrossing progression of ideas. The start is murky and mysterious: rolling, repeated quite chords seem to shape almost visual sculptures out of silence. Gradually the music takes on a more overt sense of motion: the second movement ends in an exhilarating display of pure virtuosity, without violating the narrative quality in the music that sweeps us along from the start. This is sure, intense, original music ... [Alan Rich, LA Weekly, Aug 19, 1994]

The Vine Sonata was quite a find, loaded with computer-like blips and virtuosic storm clouds, and [Michael] Harvey handled it brilliantly. A major cult could develop around this guy once word gets out. [Richard S. Ginell, American Record Guide, May/June 1994]

... the Piano Sonata ... is music that stands alone and demands repeated hearing for its brilliance, energy and inventiveness. [Laurie Strachan, The Australian, Sept 4, 1992]
