Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed in 1986, this mammoth, three-hour chamber work is a quintessential example of the American minimalist's late-period fascination with scale and memory. 'For Christian Wolff' utilizes only a flute and a piano/celesta, engaging in an incredibly quiet, glacial dialogue of softly chiming chords and breathy sustains. The recording demands intense endurance from both the performers and the listener, functioning as a profound meditation on musical time.
