Here’s what the critics had to say:
Network for New Music has produced a “highly polished and stylistically unified program. … These pieces are vibrant, fluid, dramatic expositions of interesting material.”
–American Record Guide
“Levinson’s At the Still Point of the Turning World, There the Dance Is journeys through a rain forest of wind–produced sounds before arriving in a secret garden marked by exquisite writing for acoustic guitar and saxophone over a dronelike bass.”
–Stearns, Philadelphia Inquirer
“Wagner’s piano trio is romantic, dark, and at its peaks, tastefully lavish.”
–American Record Guide
“Whitman’s piano quartet … notable for compelling melodic lines … is gripping and emotionally wrenching.”
–American Record Guide
“All three composers are at their best on the Network for New Music disc.”
–Stearns, Philadelphia Inquirer
