The program included a variety of selections, with works composed from the eighteenth century to the latter part of the twentieth century. Throughout the program Dr. Cramer demonstrated his incredible finesse and sensitivity, qualities required to be a true master of the instrument. His performance was a joy to attend." — Linda Luchsinger, UW-Manitowoc
"Every song he played with his eyes closed, feeling the music and playing it by heart. The long pieces ebbed and flowed into each other nicely and blended classical styles from many countries. Cramer presented himself soft-spoken and very professionally. He introduced his pieces in a concert fashion and shared his knowledge of the pieces and artists as well as little stories about each of them. The pieces themselves were very advanced, full of heart, and sounded beautiful... Chris Cramer played them masterfully." — Jeremy Wilke, The Mirror
