Robert Spring has been described as "one of this country's most sensitive and
talented clarinetists", Arizona Republic, and "dazzled his audience...flawless
technique", The Clarinet Magazine.
Dr. Spring has numerous recordings to his credit. Reviews include: "truly
outstanding....one would be hard pressed to find better performances of
contemporary music....first rate music performed with the highest professional
standards."
The Clarinet Magazine; "His musicality and technique make this recording a
must for every CD collection." The Instrumentalist Magazine; "This recording
was meant to amaze and, man, it succeeds." Fanfare Magazine; "Spring is
fabulous in the Copland. His phrasing is elegant swing tailored with great flow
and a spread of tone colors and expressive subtleties... The pace is neatly judged
to pick up at critical junctures so that, by the end, it feels like an improvised jam
session." The America Record Guide.
