Reviews
-
Parts are often divided very closely...a thick, almost purposefully clogged feel about the harmony which imparts a real gravitas to this solemn petition to be released from the bonds of the body. Pedal notes beneath tightly scrunched chords give a characteristic idiom, caught between anguish and glory. Challenging and moving.
