Reviews:
"Matheson's concerto is a supercharged showpiece for virtuoso violinist and orchestra that connects with the listener on a visceral as well as intellectrual level. It keeps the soloist extremely busy as he negotiates a maze of vivid, colorful orchestral effects that ulimately are the most interesting aspect of the piece. While neo-romantic in overall flavor, Matheson is original enough to shun the feel-good bromides that consistute so much of today's 'new' classical music." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
