Excerpts from Charles Coleman's Violin Concerto
"Coleman is a master of instrumental color...his musical ideas are vivid, and his characteristic multi-rhythms and contrasting harmonies engage each other and the listener completely."
- Mary Ellyn Hutton, Cincinnati Post
​
"Striking brilliance" - The Belfast Telegraph
​
"Coleman has a knack for capturing the mood of 21st Century living."
- Janelle Gelfand, The Cincinnati Enquirer
​
"Joylessly bombastic....Coleman's greatest accomplishment is in the small imaginative details." - The Star Ledger
​
​
"The longest section features baritone Charles Coleman (who happens to be an excellent composer in his own right) as Leo Tolstoy. His rich timbre and clear pronunciation certainly help to enliven the eloquent words."
- Jed Distler, Gramophone Magazine
(Review for Gene Pritsker's 'William James's Varieties of Religious Experience')
