Notes & Reviews:

"Each of the performances rivals its competition. It is true that there is a general air of restraint about all the interpretations - the tone is more elegiac than dramatic. But that makes sense to me. What we get from this disc is a sense of the delicacy, and of the poetry of Crumb's vision. Indeed, when played with too much intensity this music can sound histrionic - restraint allows its true beauty to come through...Highly recommended." -Carl, Fanfare
