QUIET CITY IN PRINT! My recording QUIET CITY is listed under "Perry's top classical CDs of 2011" in the Charlotte, South Carolina newspaper CREATIVE LOAFING. Perry Tannenbaum writes: "I’ve probably played this recording more often, with more pleasure, than any other classical or jazz recording I’ve acquired over the last year."  "Brellochs, a suave and elegant player, shares duties with another top-notch saxophonist, Paul Cohen, and peers who bring buoyant and atmospheric vibrancy to welcome repertoire." - Donald Rosenberg, Gramophone (Awards 2011)  "Mr. Brellochs showed his greatness with the very jazzy Sound Moves Blues, and a Baroque piece with trumpet by Jean-Marie Depelsenaire, as well as the final piece, Seymore Barab’s Suite for Trumpet, Alto Saxophone and Piano, with its more than subtle hints of circuses and Stravinsky." Read the full review of the performance below:  "Quiet City is anything but quiet, dull, or boring. Saxophonist Christopher Brellochs and his fellow musicians create an extremely enjoyable album of music by Copland and other American composers to whom they wish to give exposure." Read the complete CD review by V. Vasan below:  "This is a very welcome restoration, finely played. I hope it’s taken up by curious ensembles." Read the complete CD review by Jonathan Woolf below: "On the new Brellochs recording, trumpet player Donald Batchelder approaches this theme with the right mixture of eeriness and majesty, and Brellochs and clarinetist Mitchell Kriegler bring sweetness and light to the nostalgic melody that follows." Read the complete CD review by Eileen Reynolds below:   QUIET CITY IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS! "A Hint of Eroticism in the City", is the title of an article in DER SPIEGEL Online about my latest CD. SPIEGEL is a German news magazine and one of Europe's largest publications of its kind, with a weekly circulation of more than one million! They are similar to TIME magazine.   ”
