Here’s what the critics had to say:
“Throughout Higdon’s wissahickon poeTrees, even in the slow movements, there’s an undercurrent of gutsy energy that imparts momentum and backbone.”
–Cleary, New Music Connoisseur
Rands’ “handling of textures, scoring, and melodic material … is masterful.”
–Cleary, New Music Connoisseur
In Rands’ Concertino, “oboe soloist Richard Woodhams’ … performance is positively lush, exhibiting great control over vibrato and intonation.”
–Macdonald, American Record Guide
With her “gutsy and raw” style, Thomas “pulls the most extraordinary colors out of the small ensemble. Passion Prayers crackles with energy.”
–Macdonald, American Record Guide
Primosch’s Dream Journal “exudes an especially clangorous, disjunct harmonic language … its use of texture can be powerfully striking.”
–Cleary, New Music Connoisseur
“The Network for New Music never falters … Dream Journal is a must for fans of any one of these composers.”
–Macdonald, American Record Guide
