Recent Reviews
American Eclectic, DTR2015
“Erickson plays with a wonderful clarity and sense of style. I would acquire this release for the Griffes, the Copland, the Crumb, and to become acquainted with Erickson’s piano playing. And I would seek out other releases by this intelligent and sensitive musician.” -- American Record Guide (May/June 2006)
The Mystic & The Muse, DTR2013
"This is a CD not to be missed, for it is top notch in every respect. Most highly recommended." Enos Shupp, The Delian June 2004
“One of the five most notable classical discs of 2004. Thanks to Clipper Erickson for bringing to light these wonderful pieces! I'm especially fond of the Quilter pieces. --David Duff’s Classical blog 1/5/2005 (http://davidduff.blogspot.com/)
Madrigalists at Prayer, DTR2014
"A sympathetic and commendable attempt to show the ‘sacred side’ of composers mainly known for their secular music." Johan van Veen, The Music Web October 2004
Longwood Sketches, DTR9703CD
"Peter Conte gives a first-rate performance. The sound engineer has done an excellent job of positioning the microphones for the recording so that it gives an excellent account of the organ. I would recommend this CD both as a representative sample of Swinner’s pleasant and relaxing music and also as a means toward understanding something of what the American upper classes did for entertainment in the 1930’s." The Diapason October 2004
Since 1979 Direct-to-Tape Recordings have brought to you, the listener, recordings that attempt to re-create the sound of a performance. We use two microphones and no electronic tricks (like artificial reverberation) to capture the performers in a good acoustic space. Watch for CD releases of a selection of the DTR recordings previously available on various tape formats.
