CD Reviews

Amazingly rich sound world

Eleanor Schleifer | New York City | 12/09/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Babbitt's music is very special in that it requires complete immersion while never ceasing to be graceful and uniquely brilliant in its interplay of pitches, rhythms and timbres. The performances are exemplary: I particularly recommend 'Vision and Prayer' sung by Bethany Beardsley to the accompaniment of electronic sound. Written during the genre's infancy, it is a work of scintillating originality, and despite its primitive sound resources, is yet to be matched in newer electronic works. I do also recommend Babbitt's 'Philomel' on the New World Records label."

Simply marvelous

"One of America's masters at his very best. Super performances by pianist Alan Feinberg. Elizabethan Sextette is an extraordinary work. I agree with the previous poster; it alone is worth the price of this excellent CD"

One of the greats

""Who cares if people listen?" he famously said, and the strength of his convictions ring true on this, one of the greatest discs of serial music ever assembled."
