      Reception


      Jonathan Blumhofer of The Arts Fuse said the recording "is at once superbly played, astutely programmed, and aesthetically necessary". He called "Magiya" "a spirited, blazingly colorful, seven-minute overture that brims with striking gestures and elegant musical ideas dressed up in a brilliant orchestration and never overstaying its welcome".
      The album helped earn Blanton Alspaugh a Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Classical.
