4.0 out of 5 stars
Passion of Christ, February 28, 2007
This review is from: Via Crucis (Audio CD)
Many a classical composer has brought us to walk along the via dolorosa. Here an ambient stylist successfully moves solitude and withrawal into his arrangements. A dense fog of gloom rules the realm of Good Friday. Light is pervasive but muted. Despondence and paranoia squeeze one another into layed tones of measured rhythms and unusual space. Impotent to help we stand beside the way of the cross. Tragically isolated souls. Robbins' task to translate the mood of events unfolding into ambient terms measures up wonderfully. This is not just music, but an active ambient force that moves us from station to station. This musical reference to an historical event carries a heavy sence of loss which pervades the CD.
