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 von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
John Luther Adams gives us some of his most intimate music on this one. It communicates directly and with sublimity.”
Grego Edwards, Gapplegate Classical-Modern Music Review
