“Thirty Hits” displays Shifrin’s versatility, impeccable technique, and expressiveness, with equal command of the alto and tenor trombone, as a soloist, orchestral, and chamber musician. A welcome addition to the library.”
“My goodness, what beautiful playing. Ravel and Vivaldi are absolute perfection, one of the best Hindemith’s I have ever heard. It is a treat to hear you play in so many settings. Bravo.”
``Bolero, Mahler 3 - bravo! Very impressive, especially all the alto trombone ornaments and lip trills all over the joint.``

The Speer Sonata includes clever ornaments, range extensions and non-traditional interpolations. In the Hornoff the consort is successful in registering compelling, definitive musical statements shorn of pretense and technical difficulties. Myths, Legends ETC provides a useful primer for these warhorses”
