Press quotes:
“an interesting release ... a program of considerable diversity ...”
— The Age - Green Guide “In covering so much musical ground, he has been able to colour his playing with many shades of sound, thus broadening the horizons of his instrument to a sphere most would not assume possible.”— Louis Montague, The Sunday Age “Runnels effortlessly entices the listener to explore unknown territory. His playing slips easily from the courtly manner of Jean-Joseph Mouret ... to the likes of Dave Brubeck ...”— Jeremy Vincent, 3MBS FM Libretto Audio preview:

"one of a rare breed of pianists not frightened of showing his emotions when he plays"
(Leon Gettler, The Age 'Green Guide') Melbourne born musician Tony Gould is well known and admired in both classical and jazz musical circles. As a musician, Tony Gould is characterised by a desire to encompass as broad a range of activities as possible, aiming to reduce often prejudiced judgements about the relative worth of different musical styles. A specialist in accompanying and chamber music, Brachi Tilles has appeared as soloist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Rantos Collegium, Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, including their tour of Korea.
