Customer Reviews:
The title explains the album.......2003-09-08
For a collector that enjoys minimalism, such as Kronos or Terry Riley, this album should be required. The subtlety of the cadences of the various instruments and voice create an illusion of being taken somewhere else with a vividness that few artists can capture.
The use of glass and other obsure and invented instruments is sublime; it's almost as if Gabriella Roth is recording with John Cage-- Frasconi captures the rythmic smothness of Roth and carries the poetic boldness of Cage.
I truly hope Miquel Frasconi puts out more works like these; this recording is a wonderful piece to relax to and enjoy a good coversation...
