Reviews

  • ...does interesting things to the ears...
    Guy Dammann, Guardian, 13/08/2010
  • Deploying clusters, proto-minimalist repetition and expansive spatial effects, it anticipates some of the stock-in-trade of later 20th-century music by some decades.
    Geoffrey Norris, Telegragh, 13/08/2010
  • Time and again we were astonished as sounds came from remote corners of the hall...
    Michael Church, The Independant, 13/08/2010
  • ...if at the mid-point of the 36-minute impressions we wondered where Langgaard could go, the ever-onward closing sequences took us higher and further than we'd imagined possible.
    David Nice, www.theartsdesk.com, 12/08/2010
  • ...if you can surrender yourself to the experiance, it can be wonderful.
    Ivan Hewett, Telegragh, 05/08/2010
