Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Erling Wold’s "unique, breathtaking, and thoroughly unflawed" (Progression Magazine) chamber opera, "A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil," has been highly acclaimed. The San Francisco Chronicle writes that "what keeps it all together, finally, is Wold’s beautiful, moody score, a fluent succession of vivid dramatic strokes and gentle minimalist thrumming." Progression Magazine finds that "the performers shine, the music provokes, the mind engages, and it gets a perfect rating." And the San Francisco Bay Guardian comments that "Wold’s lovely score" provides "a beguiling evening."

And the San Francisco Bay Guardian comments that "Wold’s lovely score" provides "a beguiling evening."
Based on a Max Ernst 1930s surrealist novel which explores the world of religious ecstasy and erotic desire, "Little Girl" interweaves the events of a girl’s dream the night before she is about to enter a convent with a surrealist narrative about the circumstances surrounding the dream. This CD features conductor Deirdre McClure and a seven-piece ensemble of flute, clarinet, horn, percussion, piano, viola and cello in a widely celebrated production, which has played to sold-out audiences in the US and Europe.
One of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most dynamic composers, Wold has been hailed as "the Eric Satie of Berkeley surrealist/minimalist electro-artrock" by the Village Voice.
