Reviews

…lyrical, passionate, melodic, and rhythmically charged… a young composer who bears watching.

-Stephen Hicken, American Record Guide

 

…contains not one but several gems, and their luster brightens with frequent hearings… Maggio shows a real gift for creating gradually evolving structures that, despite a large-scale architecture, really do get somewhere in the end and do not collapse into minimalist stasis… he is obviously talented and has something to say.

Robert Carl, Fanfare
