| “Ditto opened with appealing
recent works by Pamela Decker (a pleasantly piquant Toccata) and Libby
Larsen…” |
The Kansas City Star, March

| “Dr. Decker holds a firm
grasp of the complexities and the aesthetic joys of this music. She
plays effulgently and musically while restoring an important element
to the equation: the player’s expressive contribution.” |
The American Organist,
February 1997 |
| “For this reviewer the most riveting
and memorable moments came in Nightsong and Ostinato Dances by Pamela
Decker, a long and involved work ending in a frenzied Stravinskyesque
dance demanding the utmost in energy, precision, and virtuosity…” |
The Diapason, November
1995 |
| “I enjoyed Decker’s playing in
an earlier disc (“Toccata” - Arkay 6091) and did even
more so here. She has a unique ability to make sense of difficult
contemporary scores for the general listening public. Her playing
always seems to make sense and there’s joy in it. I look forward
to hearing her again. If you like contemporary organ music or even
if you are just mildly curious, this is the disc to get.” |
American Record
Guide, September/October 1995 |
| “A serious and well-crafted Toccata
by Pamela Decker that is more than just a toccata; it has an argument
to present and does it in impressive and cogent terms.” |
The American Organist,
December 1994 |
