Reviews
“The Wind in High Places, a tripartite piece for string quartet that uses only natural harmonics and open strings - played extremely quietly - to create a still, pastoral ambience… Could any new music be more delicately sparse, more wonderfully poetic? I think not.”
John Luther Adams gives us some of his most intimate music on this one. It communicates directly and with sublimity.”
