(Dr. Darryl Taylor, University of California Irvine, countertenor) "I strongly feel that all of Deon Price's compositions, each with a certain theme and mood, convey a message, which I think is the reason audiences like them. They all contain musical ideas, with neo-romantic flavoring, which the performer can easily convey. I have performed many, many modern compositions by composers at the Tanglewood Music Festival and for Lukas Foss' contemporary music festival, but the most enthusiastic audience response has been when I have played pieces by Deon Nielsen Price." -(Ayke Agus, violinist, pianist and former assistant to Jascha Heifetz) "The music written by Deon Price possesses a unique coupling of rhythmic ingenuity and vitality with a keen, sensitive lyricism." (Dr. Douglas Masek, saxophonist) "...recorded at a higher level than usual and every detail emerges close-up and vivid... This music is intriguing - rich and strange indeed." (MusicWeb International) "...tuneful, well-made music...prolific contemporary composer who reaches an audience. (The American Record Guide) "Augury is a single-movement work which combines dissonant chromaticism, some microtonal treatment, and multiple sonorities with occasional passages of more lyric nature. The stormy opening includes multiphonics from the saxophone and some double-stopped violin effects played over a rumbling low register piano figure. The saxophone multiphonic, heard at various points throughout the work, helps provide some formal landmark as the work develops. There are some quieter sections, as well as a few more linear, contrapuntally oriented moments, though the composer's free dissonant style colors the music even in its more ethereal moments."
