„Real music is still being composed these days. That‘s the only conclusion one could reach Saturday night as the Connecticut Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Sayard Stone premiered „The Beautiful Day of Aranjuez”. Schonthal combines touches of Ravel and Hindemith with her own unique sensibility. By no means a derivative composer, Schonthal is, on the contrary, most original. She is also a highly communicative and expressive voice writing exquisite music.” (New Haven Register)
