Reviews

  • In the Elegia Andina (2000) flute and clarinet suggest bird songs over clip-clopping temple blocks. The music becomes more agitated, chattering and chugging, and brasses lead a sort of danse macabre, but the ending is quiet, two flutes in happy duet.
    Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News, 20/07/2009
  • Thirteen-minutes long, Elegía Andina (Andean Elegy) evokes the young American's Peruvian heritage with folkish tunes, with ornamental fillips, played by one and two flutes and clarinet.

    Strings build up glowing chords, pulse and shimmer, punctuated by clip-clops of temple blocks. After an agitated section, with blasts of brass and booms of percussion, the music retires quietly.

    It's an attractive piece, and music director Miguel Harth-Bedoya coaxed a carefully gauged, affecting performance.
