"Dale is one the most naturally gifted musicians I have known. ... as a soloist [he] truly stands apart ... I would especially mention his solo Bach."

      -Alan Fletcher, President and CEO of Aspen Music Festival and School


"a terrific talent ... instinctively musical ... [Dale] possesses a spontaneously vivid imagination that allows him to venture wherever the moment dictates - a rare and enviable quality!"

      -Colin Carr, Soloist


"The Bach revealed so much more depth than the stereotype of just complex structure...Such contrasts: the Allemande I felt was philosophical, stating a premise and then exploring it, something like a Socratic dialog. The Sarabande is amazing - such a yearning note, and very ambivalent about whether it might be sacred or profane. And the hearty Bavarian farmer's stomp of the Gavottes! with the folksy bagpipe drone, too."

         Dale's performance of Bach's Solo Suite No. 6 in D Major
