"Thanks for your new CD, ARIEL VIEW. It is stunning and emotional, musically and visually. Really extraordinary...Congrats! I hope it will be the first in a long line of wonderful recordings. The quality of your music is so strong, I really feel that this album will endure if it gets a fair shot at the market." - Chuck Wild, CW Records

"I just had to put down in writing that I truly love the ARIEL VIEW recording. The more I listen to ARIEL VIEW the more I really feel inspired. It is such a beautiful collection of music. I'm planning on using it with my clients because the music is so calming, yet uplifting at the same time. Bravo to you. I'm really looking forward to the CD being released to the public soon. I'm sure everyone will feel it is as outstanding as I do." - Robin Novotny, California, A Better Life

"Karen Bentley and Bruce Hanifan in ARIEL VIEW manage to convey a complete state of calm and well being to the listener. Their creativity is exceptional and one feels totally transported to a more friendly state of consciousness while being soothed by their unearthly music." - Glenn Dicterow, Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic

"I have had the opportunity to listen to ARIEL VIEW thoroughly a half dozen times now and it really is quite a masterpiece! I tend to use it as a means of relaxation a the end of the day and have found it to be very soothing as a background while I answer e-mail or just need to get away from things! The interaction between violin and piano is just the correct balance to give one the sensation of peace and happiness and also allows the mind to drift away in a daydreaming sort of state. Hope you are having success in promoting it elsewhere as it should have no problem selling to the right group of people which I feel there should be many of!" - Robert Fritsch, Wisconsin

"I found some time to listen to ARIEL VIEW and got impressed from the first second!" - Peter Linde, Sweden

"As a long time music correspondent for German, Swiss, and Austrian publications based in London, I recently came across ARIEL VIEW. Listening to it, I was fascinated by the incredible fantasy and richness of the music, which is certainly neither crossover, nor minimalism, but something very special...It could be a hit."

"Just a quick note to let you know how much I adore your CD. Congratulations!!! I thought of sending it right to a specific radio station, which is broadcasting classical music 24 hours a day and made the success of Gorecki. Have heard your CD five times by now - it hardly happens with any other music." - Hans Theodor Wohlfahrt, Music Critic, London

"ARIEL VIEW invites you to lean back, relax and send your thought on a journey into fantasy. In contrast to the common nerve wrackingly boring Esoteric-Music interpreters whose works resemble department store music, this 55 minute CD actually creates an atmosphere of relaxation. Dream-like and at the same time, stimulating melodies enchant the listener and make you addictive. I am telling you, forget about GANDALF and accomplices! This is exactly the right album to relax to from loud bombastic rock roar." - Martin Dambeck, Empire Magazine, Germany

"ARIEL VIEW is my end of the day meditation." - Helen Hixon, Los Angeles
