"J.A. Rose's Buson's Ballet for cello, clarinet and piano received its world premiere on December 17th, and was performed admirably by pianist John Rose, clarinetist Marianne Lacaille, and cellist Nicholas Anderson. The work, reminiscent of the music of Faure and Poulenc, is attractive and has audience appeal." - Anthony Aibel - New York Concert Review

"A calendar set is always a challenge and usually a good, focused idea, but to his credit, John doesn't try to musically describe each month.  Instead, they serve as a springboard for his own good ideas...And by the way, he's a terrific pianist." - IBLA Foundation Jury, writing about a performance of my 12 Piano Preludes on the Seasons

"Mr. Rose has the gift of melody." - Maestro Robert Ian Winstin (ERM Media)
