5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE RECORDING!!!, August 14, 2005

This review is from: Paul Moravec: Tempest Fantasy (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic recording of one of the finest chamber music additions to the repertoire in recent years! Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 2004, Moravec's Tempest Fantasy has many wonderful aspects which will apeal to any lover of classical music. Having studied the piece with the composer at the Aspen Music Festival in 2005 (as a clarinetist), and having performed it myself multiple times, I can say first hand from knowing the composer and his intentions regarding the work that this premiere recording has set the bench mark very high!

This review is from: Paul Moravec: Tempest Fantasy (Audio CD)

Paul Moravec has created here a recital of works both honourable and true which, upon repeated listenings, continue to reveal new felicities. Moravec has the craft to conceal his craft, a skill often under-rated.

The performances on this disc are uniformly superb, the sound quality is excellent, the program notes good. I recommend it to all serious music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Deserved a Pulitzer, March 14, 2005

This review is from: Paul Moravec: Tempest Fantasy (Audio CD)

Moravec's Tempest is a wonderfully depictive romp through Shakespeare. He distills each character represented to their essence and delivers a broad range of emotion, some subtle, some overt. The trio plays marvelously, and is able to communicate Moravec's intentions with great sensitivity. No question, this piece deserved the Pulitzer last year, and this performance is also worthy of a similarly prestigious award.
