Press

Rands knows how to make an orchestra speak in wonderfully colorful tones and Le Tambourin could find a place in many an orchestra's modern repertory.
— The New York Times

His orchestral suites Le Tambourin are tours de force of modernist impressionism. Impressive work; impressive composer.
— The Chicago Tribune
