Album Description

"There are moments of quiet epiphany which [Wakabayashi] and Wise bring off with breathtaking intensity and beauty of sound. And, make no mistake, this is real music, not paper experimentation: inventive, communicative, life-enhancing. If you have yet to discover Ives, take advantage of Arte Nova's bargain price, and start here." -- BBC Music
