"...it’s an incredible virtuosic workout for Boustany, who is absolutely fantastic......It's a risky business to accord any recently composed, unfamiliar work “masterpiece” status, but Khoury’s Mirror of Eternity has made a deep emotional impression on me, and Boustany, accompanied by an ensemble of strings and percussion, plays it magnificently...

...Boustany’s playing is simply stupendous and the string section of the Ukraine National Symphony Orchestra under conductor Volodmyr Sirenko is brilliant. I can’t recommend this single disc too highly."

"...Boustany’s playing here is perfection...spellbindingly beautiful playing from the soloist..."

MUSICWEB (Paul Corfield Godfrey), March 2012

 

"...it says much for Boustany that in sheer virtuosity he matches Emmanuel Pahud, even if his tone is not quite so full or sensuous. In a way that is an advantage: in conjunction with a better balanced, less "up-front" recording, the definition of rapid passagework is clearer and, in the central Andante, Boustany brings out the yearning mystery of melancholy more intensely..."

Gramophone (Edward Greenfield), January 2013

 

"...I am quite staggered by this soloist...the playing is remarkable...the cadenzas are spellbinding; the intonation faultless..."
