Dear Jimmy,
Recording the Brazilian music with you has been one of the most rewarding musical experience I had. Listening to the final CD streng thens the feeling of a major accomplishment.I do not know of any other such endeavor of such high quality recording devoted solely to contemporary music of a single composers group, including so many premiers. Although all participants faced major musical and emotional challenges yours was, no doubt, the most difficult one and I would like to commend you on the extraordinary initiative, preparation and the virtuosic execution. Our intense work has produced a monumental opus of great music, contemporary and international, yet with a strong Brazilian flavor. I feel very honored and fortunate to have taken a part in such an important project and I hope we will be able to draw from our experience together to continue the project.
