CD Reviews

A cd worth having
Marvin A. Zimmer | murray, ut United States | 09/24/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Being a newcomer to the cosmic world of Wuorinen's atonal music, this music has left me gasping. Maybe the disintegration of the last two weeks since the world trade center disaster has opened my senses more to the fragmented, complex music this is, for it is a welcome respite to the pop-oriented culture we live in. The lack of a familiar melody is more than compensated by the sheer new sounds we hear from familiar instruments - the research that Wuorninen has consumed with regards to each instruments pitch range and overtone series - is quite remarkable. From the cascading glissandos of the piano in 'piano variations', to the flutter-tougueing of the 'flute variations', it all adds to the overall enjoyment of this important addition to 20th century music. I also found the linear notes very informative. This music, although written 20-30 years ago, still sounds fresh. I recommend listening to it while staring out at the night sky with a glass of merlot by your side."
