NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW
"...an eclectic blend of melodic and rhythmic elements of Jazz and Rock and Roll with a uniquely contemporary harmonic vocabulary." (Review of "a fly is in..." performed by the Serafin String Quartet )
"Richard Belcastro wrote Caution, Rip Current (2005) for the entire ensemble, commemorating a sailing trip, alternating an ordinary, everyday business theme, with turbulent dynamics, and calm again, conducted by Jan Krzywicki. Flutes and violin add sprightliness, while cello and bass represent portent, and all come out even." (Review of the premiere performance by Network for New Music)
