SOUTH FLORIDA CLASSICAL REVIEW WROTE:


"Re: Joyce, Opus B, a showpiece for bass trombone, is based on
James Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake,
even including a drinking song from the novel in a central episode. The electronics
that substituted for the orchestral part did not really do justice to the churning instrumental timbres. Still,
you had to love the growls, muted wails and crackling roars Jose Leonardo Leon drew from the instrument,
 devilishly conceived by Sleeper.
With a capital soloist like Leon and a full orchestra, this work could be a real crowd pleaser".
