4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful smorgasbord of Ross Edwards, March 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Raft Songs at Sunrise (Audio CD)
Ross Edwards is one of the more eclectic of the modern Australian composers and this CD reflects that. Ranging from shakuhachi solo to unaccompanied choral work vaguely in the style of the late Middle Ages, it's unlikely that anyone will be equally taken with everything in this sampler. But it's quite likely that you'll like lots of it and love some of it. It's wonderfully melodic, alternatively haunting and bright, and infused with influences ranging from birdsong to African and Asian themes. Many of these pieces were composed for or dedicated to the artists who perform them here, and the quality of both performance and recording is first rate.
