Wheel of Emptiness

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Those familiar with Harvey's work and background will most likely find this release very gratifying. Superbly recorded and performed by an extraordinary ensemble, Ictus of Brussels. The first piece, `Wheel of Emptiness' is a premiere recording commissioned and performed by the full ensemble. The additional pieces (except for the final composition for oboe, harp and string trio) combine solo instrumentation with electronic accompaniment, flawlessly executed and recorded. Sound presence throughout the release is outstanding. The CD as a whole comes of as a well balanced array of Harvey's musical reality."
