MojoDec 4, 2018The results are as wildly evocative as anything by Steve Reich or Terry Riley, but thunderously affecting on their own terms. [Jan 2019, p.85]
-
Dec 4, 2018This is a finely crafted, elegiac album.
-
Q MagazineDec 18, 2018Melnyk's compositions wobble and hesitate, as if embarrassed by their beauty. Brief moments of optimism strike a philosophical tone, his notes dancing around an equilibrium that never quite arrives. [Feb 2019, p.112]
-
The WireDec 4, 2018Melnyk’s playing has a rare capacity to energise and exhilarate, and in that respect Fallen Trees does not disappoint. [Jan 2019, p.82]
-
Dec 10, 2018At 70, Melnyk is producing some of the most physically demanding work of his career. And he's doing so in front of a bigger audience than he's ever enjoyed. This is a recording of a composer/performer very much at the top of his game.

Dec 13, 2018This, like the other excellent records he has given us since his belated emergence into the global limelight, is a work of quiet--but nonetheless defiant--beauty from a true great of contemporary classical music, who we must all continue to cherish for as long as we can. Essential.
-
UncutDec 4, 2018Melnyk conjures a world that is both sentimental and abstract--a safe space in which to lose yourself. [Jan 2019, p.22]
