New CD by Trio Batignano gets a four star review in the Independent.
Album: Stephen Goss, Northern Lights (FMR) (Rated 4/ 5 ) Reviewed by Andy Gill Friday, 10 June 2011
"At its best, it's utterly captivating: the solo flute piece "The Sea of the Edge" is as hauntingly desolate as the moon feature after which it's named, and the four-part suite "Northern Lights" hangs like East Coast fog, clarinet and flute in sparse, unhurried collusion akin to a meditative Feldman work. And the transcription to flute, guitar and clarinet works particularly well on the eight-part "Reflections on the Garden of Cosmic Speculation". |
