"This Is a highly adventurous and strangely
beautiful recording."
-The North Jersey Herald & News
"The CCM Contemporary Music
Ensemble brings experience and understanding to its telling performances of
compositions by Gerhard Samuel, Richard Jordan Smoot, and Peter Ware.
The Smoot and Ware are fine pieces, staking out their musical territories
and exploring them fully. The Samuel is a small masterpiece, a richly
evocative elegy and a fascinating essay in counterpoint and
orchestration. Lynn Harting-Ware
gives a finely nuanced performance of the solo part in the Smoot
Concerto. Her playing is remarkably clean, with all details audible. This is a fine disc, one that repays close
and repeated hearings."
