"Andrew's rock-solid technique
in the Copland Clarinet Concerto allowed one to forget his mechanics and focus
on the balletic gracefulness of his phrasing, the give and take with which he
moved his music through the orchestral texture."
Los Angeles Times
"You (Halcyon Trio) have inspired me not
only to write what is perhaps the greatest and most unique work of my life,
but also delivered an absolutely electrifying premiere performance that was
at once insightful, cohesive, and virtuostic to the highest degree. It is a
truly great affirmation to hear ones music thus understood and lovingly rendered.
Many thanks."

"Soloist Andrew Lamy made a persuasive exponent of Copland's score....Lamy commands the sweet tone and technical poise this piece demands. The clarinetist filled out the lyrical lines of the opening movement with suave, seemless playing. He turned the cadenza that joins the two movements into a vividly characterized moment, then danced through the jazzy finale."
