Review from New Jersey Stage: "The Sourland Symphony" is a fantastic instrumental collection, well written and performed and with its diverse styles is a must add to any music collection. Popik took his time analyzing the mountain and each composition reflects not only his patience but also the landscape's various seasons and times.
