5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful, important music; wish there were more Benjamin., December 8, 1999
This review is from: George Benjamin: Three Inventions (Audio CD)
It's a shame that George Benjamin produces such a small output of music. Along with Oliver Knussen, another Brit who doesn't compose enough, Benjamin should be the inheritor of Elliott Carter's mantle. His music is full of complexity and yet beautiful, and it's channelled into meaningful gestures. This cd is highly recommended. "Upon Silence," the vocal work, is mesmerizing. Both orchestral works are absolutely masterful. Buy the cd--the only drawback is that you'll find yourself wishing for more Benjamin.
