"It is an honor, privilege, and pleasure to recommend this CD.  Brio Recordings’ Compositions for Pointe by composer and pianist, Jonathan Bellman, has always been my go-to pointe class CD. I have used it for many years and it never gets stale. It has the perfect tempi for all the levels of pointe classes and my students thoroughly enjoy the musical and colorful rhythmic variety, as well as the passion with which it is played.”
