Bach - Christmas Oratorio "Mark Inouye's dynamic opening trumpet blast, which promised great things." Joshua Kosman, Oct. 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Mahler - Symphony No. 5 "Inouye's offstage solo was a highlight of the evening, a sustained in- strumental song at once delicate, soaring, and heartwrenchingly pure."
