Reviews

It [Duruflé’s Requiem, conducted by Stephen Barr] brought me to tears at times, and gave me goosebumps at others. Perfectly balanced between choir, organ, and chamber orchestra. Just stunning.

David Schaap, Music Director at Trinity Cathedral, Pittsburgh

Everyone needs to listen closely to Stephen’s "Descent Into the Earth" and answer this question: Does his music sound every bit as good as any film scores you’ve heard? I know my answer is a definite yes, and it sounds better than most.

— R.J. Nestor, Composer, Lyricist, and Screenwriter
