Review:
The Vine concerto grosso moves from complexity . . . and then towards an instrumentally dazzling ending with such assurance and economy as to claim a classic status of its own. Here, in this intently held balance of means and ends, is music of a kind which might establish, rather than end, a genre. [Roger Covell, Sydney Morning Herald, June 17, 1991]

Review:
Its appeal is considerable and direct. The main body of its first section rides on energetic, syncopated dance-like rhythms, often with a Latin flavour. The middle, generally slower, section revolves around a core of instrumental dissension . . . Vine's invention is brilliantly appropriate for his purposes. [Roger Covell, Sydney Morning Herald, Mar 20, 1995]

Review:
Vine, whose Symphony No. 2 opened the program, is a young man who has absorbed a great many contemporary musical influences and managed to combine them in a way that reflects his times and his own musical thought. His symphony is imaginative and ingenious, well scored, and thoroughly persuasive ... [Robert C. Marsh, Chicago Sun-Times, Nov 3, 1988] ... there is not the slightest doubt that this symphony is a finely made and important work. the orchestral scoring is exceptionally graceful and attractive, and there is not a minute of the work which does not show at work a fruitful and deeply musical mind. [Kenneth Hince, The Melbourne Age, April 25, 1988]

Review:
The program opened with the Third Symphony of Carl Vine, which is even better than I thought at its premiere ... The music itself, which is splendidly scored, does, I believe, show more confidence and sense of identity than the Second Symphony, and an organic wholeness of form that is most impressive. [Kenneth Hince, The Melbourne Age, Aug 20, 1990]
