Beethoven – Symphony No. 2, in D, III – Scherzo

"Man, this is absolutely dynamite! You have done a fantastic job of capturing all of the nuance of the piece – the variety of the percussion, the string divisi, the mutes – all of it is here. I can’t imagine how many hours of work went into this. I just want to congratulate you on your frighteningly accurate representation of the piece."
- David Heuser, Texas

"I was astonished the first time I heard a chamber work of mine performed by The Fauxharmonic. The professionalism was expected (considering the source) but the executional and stylistic nuances came as a wonderful surprise. My very first thought was that the director had to be an individual from an extensive performance background, which proved to be correct. This product/art will go far to support the exploration of modern serious music."
- Michael Staley, Texas

"The Fauxharmonic performance has all the musical expression and nuances I could ask for, resulting in a very accurate rendition of my composition. I’m taken by how well all the tone-colors are played (harmonics, phrasings and vibrato, spiccato, glissandi, et cetera), as well as the natural feel of accelerandos and ritenutos. I now have a killer performance of my quartet, that I can’t wait to show to everyone!”
- Emiel Stoepler, The Netherlands

"I'm especially grateful to Paul for his attention to detail: the finer points of dynamics and articulation that give life and authenticity to Fauxharmonic peformances. I have already had one band director express interest in performing my work as a result of our recording. I hope to collaborate with the Fauxharmonic again in the future."
- Larry Shackley, South Carolina

"The Fauxharmonic Orchestra is defining a new paradigm in the meaningful interpretation and presentation of ambitious, large-scale musical works."
- Tom Myron, Massachusetts
