Awards and reviews

August 2006

Aristaeus (1997/2003), premiered in this concert, tells the Orpheus story from the point of view of the shepherd who's pursuing Eurydice when she's killed by a snake. …with fine-drawn orchestral playing and clear sound, the work emerges as characteristic Henze, and unexpectedly compelling.
