    “

    Inward has been in development for six years and the quality of Craig’s presentation and attention to detail shows this. Richard Craig is certainly [a champion] to be reckoned with. This is music to take slowly and with an open mind. It grows on you.

    “

    There is a conviction and enthusiasm in his playing that holds your attention and promotes the idiom as well as anyone else can. Anyone who has an interest in the avant-garde will find reward in the playing and selections here.

    “

    A display of excellent technical virtuosity of which Craig derives to be proud… thoroughly gripping and exciting to listen to. Richard Craig is a master of contemporary techniques for his instrument. He approaches the avant-garde with an obvious technical control and clear musical understanding and the music is well communicated. The disc has much to offer in terms of both its repertoire and quality, and there is a pleasing consistency of standards throughout.
