“Matthews has been heralded for the success with which he has taken the inspiration of the piano masterpieces and skillfully created orchestral works of great variety, beauty and drama. “…these pieces are more than orchestrations, they are recreations achieved by entering into the mind and thought of the original composer. Beautiful performances.”
