Alexandre Dossin's Bio

Liner Notes

Reviews
Dossin plays this compelling music with great heart and skill. Well worth a listen. Fanfare Magazine Jan/Feb 2006 (Read Full Review)

Alexandre Dossin plays with an astute balance of excitement, technical finesse, and fluid expressivity; The recording is close to ideal rich but clear, truthful, and immediate. American Record Guide Nov/Dec 2005 (Read Full review)

[Dossin] seems to play it with both devotion and delight; Krieger, at least, has lavished praise upon these performances, and I hear no reason to dispute the composer's seal of approval. Fanfare Magazine Nov/Dec 2005 (Read Full Review)

Run, don?t walk, to buy A Touch of Brazil... The music is immediate, arresting, and also subtle. Dossin presents it as though he is a pane of glass through which admirers can see the composer. I highly recommend the CD. Clavier Magazine April 2007 (Read Full Review)
