"Tracy has developed his own unique style of violin playing--a marvel of expressiveness, the product of his having digested everything from Stefan Grapelli to the Indian saranghi to bluegrass, Robert Johnson, and Terry Riley." --Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award winning composer John Adams

"The greatest living exponent of the electric violin." --BBC Radio

"Fleet agility and tangy expressivity" --Anthony Tommasini, New York Times

"Silverman is in a class of his own." --Mark Swed, LA Times

"What informs almost every bar of the work is the blazing virtuosity of Tracy Silverman, playing a six-string electric violin. Listen to Silverman flinging seagull-like spirals and caws over Adams' big and busy symphonic apparatus in the ecstatic finale and you will be astonished that anybody can play the fiddle like that." --John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
