reviews

 "In the history of contemporary Canadian music, Ontario composer Timothy Minthorn is quite unique. This extremely versatile Busoni-like composer-pianist, gifted with a light touch, seems quite capable of distancing himself from his own compositions and simply performing them... This is music to win the hearts of even the most hardened contemporary music haters!"
La Scena Musicale

 

"Canadian composer-pianist Timothy Minthorn is a sensitive and skilled player and composer."
American Record Guide

 

Richard Todd of The Ottawa Citizen calls Tidal Storm (Timothy's debut piano CD) one of
"10 Canadian discs worth listening to... featuring music that is substantial, without making unusual demands on the listener".

 

"Music-verse combo very successful... flavoured by the impressionistic style of Debussy and Ravel with some jazzy bits neatly woven in."
Toronto Star

 

Minthorn's recent jazz CD Visions is "outstanding", "a very effective essay in the genre of Richie Beirach and/or seventies-era Keith Jarrett"...with "an overall sound which is open and inviting."
John Grey
Wholenote

 

 "A pianist of considerable ability... compositions reaching towards ideas which are quite demanding, as well as quite personal, which leads me to believe he will become a composer of merit."
Srul Irving Glick, C.M.

 

"Timothy Minthorn is a talented composer. His Tidal Storm CD is an impressive body of music."
Dr. John Burge, President
Canadian League of Composers
