Rafael de Acha gives a five-star review to David Shifrin and the Dover, and Harlem Quartets recording, Clarinet Quintets for Our Time:

“a testimony to the riches of American chamber music. … The album features three selections each averaging 18 minutes in length, each distinctive in its compositional style, two impeccably played by the Dover Quartet, one equally well executed by the Harlem Quartet, all featuring David Shifrin bringing now lyrical, now sharply piquant clarinet sound to the music of three different composers. … The chameleonic Dover Quartet keeps things swinging while playing elegantly with a cool jazz vibe throughout. … The superb Harlem Quartet plays like a dream, with Shifrin comfortably integrating himself into the proceedings. … This CD is sure to please the eclectic collector.”
