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
