CD: ‘Procession’ Simon Rose solo alto saxophone (FMR) 2006
… ‘Procession’ is one of the finest statements from the saxophone I have ever had the pleasure to experience… Each piece is encyclopedic and grandiose without pretence, as witnessed in the opening of the aptly named ‘Ground Effect’.
Marc Medwin, CADENCE, September 2007

‘… One can hear the influence of Charles Ives on pieces like "Etwas Flatterhaft" while Cagean techniques are applied on other numbers. The almost serial construction of" ist die Frage" contrasts with the string-scratching on "Honiglied" or the eerie buzzing strings on "City Night Lines", clearly the most surprising track (did she use an E-Bow to make them vibrate like that?). "Solo Piano" illustrates the creativity and versatility of the pianist and makes an enjoyable listen, thanks to Binder`s musical language constantly revised from one piece to the next.
