Notes & Reviews:

Oliver came to international attention during 1988-89 when he won 6 prizes for five compositions ranging from chamber to orchestral to electro acoustic music. This album features a collection of his orchestra music composed between 1995 and 2006. Oliver believes that music should resonate with the listener's intellect, emotions, and kinetic impulses.

American Record Guide, November/December 2012
The big piece is last. Raven Steals the Light offers 23 minutes of harmonic richness, often strong, sometimes mild. Ingenious and fascinating sound effects are created without extended playing techniques. The action never quits and continuously unfolds. Kudos to Jacques Lacombe and the CBC Radio Orchestra.
