Par IGUDESMAN ALEKSEY. “This flute quartet is filled with pictures out of my own mind. The idea is to walk through a fictional gallery that exists exclusively in my head. The pictures one sees are moods, feelings and the inner secrets of a person. After one round, one returns to the beginning of the inner gallery and starts walking faster. The musical material repeats in a more compact way, where …

Par MOUSSORGSKY MODESTE / KURTAG GYORGY. For György Kurtág, Mussorgsky's works have always been an important model. Several of his works contain pieces referring to Mussorgsky (Games III, The Small Snag), and in his opera, Fin de partie, he also refers to Mussorgsky's declamation style.

Par BENJAMIN GEORGE. '. . .the sheer technical aplomb of the work continues to amaze. Benjamin wrote it when he was eighteen - the beautifully dappled structure and wonderfully imagined effects seem to evidence a far deeper maturity.'Financial Times (Andrew Clements), 24 February 1987/ Répertoire / Conducteur

The four movements bring us on a metaphysical journey from the heavens to earth, from the echo of The Spheres (Kyrie) to Identity and The Ground (Sanctus) with its earthly themes. Neither expressly sacred nor secular, this is an exquisite work for advanced high school level and beyond. Available separately: SSAATTBB, String Orchestra (F…
