5.0 out of 5 stars Strong!, July 26, 2006

By	Kay Kaiser (Jupiter, Florida) - See all my reviews

Seems a lot of folks find Golijov shallow and it's easy to qualify. One example: he goes to that ululated falling second degree business so often when he wants pathos that it becomes a cliche. That's calculation.
On the other hand, accusations of phoniness and pretension can hardly be qualified. It's just name-calling, like right-wing talk radio.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting sampler, June 12, 2006

By	Starry Vere (Silver Lake OH USA) - See all my reviews

This cd offers a snapshot of the downtown New York classical scene of the early 90s, played by one of the great new music chamber groups, the Bang on a Can All-Stars.
I find the preceding comment about "phoniness" suspect in that such accusations have little to do with the music at hand, but rather are borne of some personal resentment. It says nothing. What exactly is it that you find phony? What do you think genuine is?
