“...A beautiful piece with glow, verve and passion ‘baptized’ by De

Ereprijs. I have no doubt that Ikaros would -and should- remain

a staple of the ensembles' concert repertoire.

Darbu Sax; it is a recent piece  that represents a very

different world and time. Yet there are points of contact with the

original Turkish Music.”
