* Daniel Burwasser is an American composer who writes music that is accessible and emotionally communicative but by no means overly simplified. It is contrapuntally complex, its essentially Romantic tonal idiom is spiced up with carefully applied dissonances, and it is marked by a particularly vivid and imaginative variety of colors. "Burwasser demonstrates a masterful sense of how to deploy his ensemble to expressive ends. His scoring explores a world of colors, in an unfailingly rich and transparent fashion. Burwasser also understands the importance of contrast. Musical ideas, no matter how attractive, never overstay their welcome, as they are juxtaposed with contrasting material. In short, Burwasser’s music offers a compelling synthesis of thematic material, instrumental color, and a keen sense of contrast and momentum. It’s music that provides great satisfaction." - Ken Meltzer, Fanfare, July/August 2023
"Burwasser's music communicates an intensity of focus, with a clear, compelling sense of logical inevitability to its execution. Radiant colors, long lines, and fastidiously prepared structures and sounds abound." – Bob Lord, CEO, Parma Recordings e "The brilliance of Daniel Burwasser's music has many facets. There is a great attractiveness and lyricism in his writing, which spans several genres including jazz. This gives his music an improvisatory feeling. There is also raw, angular phrasing. There is simplicity in his subtle minimalist tendencies. Yet, there is great complexity in his use of color and line. In short, his music is a masterclass in the fusion of competing elements. Highly recommended! - Daniel Baldwin, Composer, Conductor
