Prof. Sergio Carolino- Tubist
"A few weeks ago, I received this beautiful new CD by dear friend and Israeli tuba player Avital Handler "Tuba in the City". Just now I have a little more time to talk a bit about this wonderful disc. The repertoire it's fresh and very attractive! Avital shows us he's beautiful sound and singing style! Listening to this disc makes me very curious to the next CD by Avital! A special word to the wonderful job of the pianist Raviv Leibzirer! A must to all tuba lovers and collectors!
Thanks Avital for such beautiful CD! Bravi!"
Scott Mendoker- Senior Tubist
"Just received Avital's wonderful CD in the mail a few days ago. Absolutely gorgeous sound...reminds me of the tone and lyricism of the great Michael Lind and his recordings. Lots of character and charisma in this CD and one that I am very happy to share with the students in my studio as an example of great musicality! BRAVA Avital!"
