Album Description
Mario Davidovsky remains perhaps the least known of the elder generation of the New York avant-garde composers. Although he has won nearly every major award- from Pulitzer Prize to Guggenheim Fellowships- his music has rarely been recorded. In fact, this is the first full CD ever to be dedicated completely to his music. This release features three world premiere recordings: Flashbacks, the title track, scored for clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion; Festino, for guitar, viola, cell and bass; and Quartetto No. 2 for oboe and string tri. Also included are Synchronsims No. 10 for guitar and tape, Romancero, a setting of ancient Spanish poetry, and String Trio. Throughout, Davidovsky's highly refined ear amazes and entertains us with rich detail.

Customer Reviews

Exquisitely Exposive yet Delightful and Delicate
Davidovsky's music is startling in its use of the opposites. Precision on the micro-level is frequently juxtaposed with spontaneous formal and dramatic designs. You will find yourself listening again and again to these works.
