Dec 7, 2011The Kronos Quartet, So Percussion, and the six players in Dance Patterns deliver topnotch performances, and Nonesuch's sound is immaculate.
-
Oct 6, 2011This album shows him to still be in thrall to the possibilities of composition and unafraid of tackling the bigger issues it can so powerfully address.
-
Oct 6, 2011The performances are superb.
-
Oct 6, 2011It's the rigor and directness of the voice-music connection--and the apparent lack of artifice--that makes for the work's stark power.
-
Oct 6, 2011A project conceived in noble intentions but hobbled by confused, muddled execution.

Dec 2, 2011"Mallet Quartet" and "Dance Patterns" feel inconsequential on their own and even more so when sharing CD space with WTC 9/11. But that's the way it goes with these extended works. A weak link doesn't always equal a weak release, but it still weakens it all the same.
