Album Notes & Community Reviews

An intriguing mid-century coupling that juxtaposes dense, highly structured Austro-German modernism with austere, spiritually eccentric French minimalism. The release offers listeners an illuminating contrast between two radically different approaches to harmonically unmooring the 20th-century classical tradition.
