"Hard D...deals in extremes. From soft down to sandpaper, from jazzy to well-nigh Baroque. Sometimes the orchestra...sounded like low-flying jets, carpet-bombing us with cruelly exact clusters of notes. At other moments you felt you were in the meadows, surrounded by softly bleating lambs. Hard D left nobody unmoved, in either a positive or negative sense." - Kees Polling, Trouw "Like all Barry's music that I've heard this is gritty, vigorous and obstinately original." - Donald Henshilwood, Winds
