“H2 Quartet is a relatively young group with an already impressive list of accomplishments……On the program I attended, they performed Echolocation by Takuma Itoh and Chasing the Silence by Roger W. Petersen.  Both these intriguing and beautiful pieces were flawlessly performed……The work by Petersen was flat-out gorgeous.”

- Susan Fancher, Saxophone Journal, Nov/Dec 2009

“There are two pieces by the San Francisco composer, Roger W. Petersen, on this disc.  Chasing the Silence is built on an ascending motive around a pedal D which is disrupted through a series of attacks and intense articulations, ebbing temporarily into something almost bluesy before its violent conclusion…… The framework for In Dreams is a series of interweaving voices and diatonic dissonances. It is very pretty and listener friendly……Both of these works make solid additions to the quartet genre.”
