"... the piece begins very quietly, building gradually in intensity and tension; the build-up is interrupted by a long baritone saxophone solo. The exchange between relaxed passages and passages urging forward creates an exciting kaleidoscopic effect. One could perceive the work as a shimmering musical reflection of today’s world. The Rascher Quartet’s interpretation was brilliant and precise, and displayed the total dynamic spectrum of interesting sounds and effects of new saxophone music."
