The New York Times, Gramophone, and NPR celebrate The Blind Banister in their "Best of 2024" lists.

Wonderfully controlled and poised performance by cellist Inbal Segev in Upstate Obscura, Metropolis Ensemble under conductor Andrew Cyr in full control throughout, and the irrepressible Andres on top of his game in The Blind Banister and the solo piano piece Colorful History, I cannot recommend this album highly enough.

“These three works from Timo Andres showcase the US composer’s distinctive and accomplished musical language… It’s a highly accomplished disc all round.”
