Reviews
‘A coherent and compelling 25-minute structure that wisely emphasises reflection on this tragic subject rather than any attempt to portray it directly, this work burst with the alluring textures now expected of this composer, offering a panoply of spotlit moments for different solo instruments – not least the horn… A moving response…’
Tempo (Keith Potter), January 2019
