TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS: “I am pretty damn thrilled with this production. My hat's off to Elliot. Love the music and the way it is incorporated into the film, including quiet times when appropriate. Bravo!” - Richard Cronin, Senior Associate - Henry L. Stimson Center "I was the film editor on "Golden Threads" (a feature documentary by Lucy Winer & Karen Eaton made for ITVS and which aired on PBS' series POV in 1999), for which Elliot wrote and produced a brilliant score. He was a pleasure to work with and his collaboration was an integral part of the film -- so much so that we are currently collaborating on another feature documentary, "Kings Park." Elliot is an incredibly talented composer and musician and I would not hesitate to give him the heartiest recommendation." - Spike Lampros, Emmy Award winning film/video editor “Elliot is an extremely gifted, inventive and collaborative composer. He is well versed in many genres of music and is easy to work with. I strongly recommend him for your next film. television or commercial project.” Top qualities: Great Results , Personable , High Integrity - Victor Mignatti, Film/TV/Video Director/Writer/Producer "Composer Elliot Sokolov conducted his own Almanac for organ, brass trio and percussion, a three movement piece with a brooding, fitful slow movement between flashing, pulsating episodes of inventive coloration and dynamic thrust. A firm, intense performance, warmly received." - John Dwyer Buffalo Evening News "Elliot Sokolov's Pipedreams was a lovely blend of organ with saxophone, almost impressionistic and winningly lyrical." - Byron Belt Newhouse Newspapers "(Choreographer Sabatino) Verlezza lets Sokolov's strong score drive the dance along or envelop it in a gigantic humming without undue mickey mousing of either its beat or its mood." - Deborah Jowitt The Village Voice “Set to energizing yet nuanced music composed by Elliot Sokolov, the dance takes its name (Tobi Roppo) from a term used in Kabuki theater..." - Jennifer Dunning The New York Times "Probably the finest aspect of Arbitra is the commissioned score by Elliot Sokolov..." - Jennie Schulman Backstage "Arbitra, in which Elliot Sokolov's score is superimposed over Villa Lobos's well known Bachianas Brasileiras was stunningly impassioned." - Anna Kisselgoff The New York Times "The score for Tobi Roppo, composed by Elliot Sokolov, which utilized a synthesizer and various percussive sounds, was, for a change, an inspiring one. It was quite a relief from those monotonous "slam bangs" that accompany much of today's dance." - Jennie Schulman Backstage “Nice music, Elliot.” - former President Richard M. Nixon, in 1991
