Paci Dalò’s concert at the Experimental Intermedia (NYC) was
a surprise and a pleasure for me. His attention to details is exactly
what we need right now. The concert was a wonderful example in the nuances
intonation and in the representation of the clarinet as a solo instrument
and in the joining of music to words” —
