  • "The piece is a delight -- intellectually engaging, explosive with imagination and with a satisfying visceral power."  (Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post, 2006)
  • "David Froom's Piano Trio No. 2 "Grenzen" -- a piece so full of life it almost bursts out of its skin -- received a spectacularly energetic and focused performance from Elisabeth Adkins on violin, Rachel Young on cello, and Lisa Emenheiser at the piano." (Stephen Brookes, The Washington Post, 2010)
