About
The works presented on this disc have in common the use of folk music from Lithuania, the Northern Caucasus and the Near East, contrasting their melody and simplicity with a more aggressive modernist style to provide a commentary on the gradual transformation of, and struggle between, musical cultures that invokes Bartok’s treatment of his native Hungarian folksong. The works are performed by the artists for whom they were written and the recording was made in Vilnius, Lithuania.

June 2007
An absorbing and appealing compilation.
One of her gratifying qualities—not indispensable to a composer, but it helps—is that she likes sound. This is music that compels the attention.
