    Lyrics, when employed, are simple and to the point, thoughtful but sparse enough to let the classical musicianship shine.

    It has a good sound to it, but as a whole, the misty quality in many of the songs doesn’t have much of a lasting impact.

    Ultimately, Aventine is a triumph of carefully sustained mood; of a sadness that is not so much overbearing as it beautiful, and one that lingers in the silences between listens of this unusual, unusually compelling record.
