The Music of Elliott Carter, Vol. 2
BRIDGE 9044
BBC Music Magazine: Best of Year
Reviews:
“Outstanding performances here by all concerned: some of the players go back decades with this repertoire, and their passion for and mastery of Carter’s music is clear.” - High Performance Review
“This is an important disc, partly because it restores a major Carter work to the catalogue, partly for its useful update on some of the master’s recent miniatures.” - Gramophone
“The Cello Sonata is a very approachable early masterpiece, the Violin Duo much thornier but just as great, and Enchanted Preludes for flute and cello a magical evocation of elfin charm and gossamer mystery...this is a first-class production in every way...” - American Record Guide
