Reviews
**** PERFORMANCE: Excellent SOUND: Excellent
This CD is a real find. It is a great recording of what might best be described as post-modern chamber music by the California composer Peter Scott Lewis. Beaming Contrasts and Through The Mountain are the two highlights. They are both substantial new works that deserve to become staples of the contemporary chamber music repertoire. Yet the other three striking compositions are far from just filler. For anyone interested in contemporary chamber music, this well played and recorded CD is an essential acquisition.
