PRAISE FOR MR. O'MEARA'S PLAYING:

“O'Meara has no trouble bringing fresh insight and verve to the Bach Preludes and Fugues. To the lighter pieces he brings new energy and a fluent, fresh, almost jaunty touch.”

      ~ Classical Music Magazine - CD review

“O'Meara's clean playing was a joy to hear. An excellent performance.”

      ~ El Paso Times, Texas

“You have an extraordinary sense of balance and taste. I've heard my difficult Suite in D performed all over the world and your performance was among the best.  You have in my view a special insight into my music.”

    ~ Talivaldis Kenins, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto

“The highly polished improvisations seized on the operatic energy of the film and magnified it. At the end, I felt as though an artifact of old Hollywood had truly been restored to all its savage vitality.”

     ~ Globe and Mail, Canada
