5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite sounds, January 10, 2002
By Michael Ham (Monterey, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I heard this on a local radio station and had to have it. Exquisite sounds. My tastes generally incline toward jazz, so maybe this triggers those responses.

4.0 out of 5 stars experimental music that's actually melodic!, September 26, 2001
By josh (Appeleton, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Ben Johnston proves that being less conventional and being more aproachable aren't mutually exclusive with his microtonal suite for piano. His tuning allows him to do cool pseudo chromatic runs inwhich each step becomes slightly smaller than the last one (when ascending). The pure fifths sound really great in "Blues," which goes into a cool 13/8 ostinato. The "Song" is really beautiful, too. Not being a fan of post Webern serrialism, I wasn't as pleased with the "Sonata for Microtonal Piano," but I still found it more interesting than equal tempered serrialism.
