CD Reviews

Very nice
05/06/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"begins with the lovely spaciousness of Part(the only true 'tame' pieces on the cd) and ends with the huge, frantic clusters of Ustvolskaya. and just about everything else in between. the most amazing of all of these pieces is Gorecki's Sonata #1. a thrilling ride, definitely NOT something you could go to sleep to. i know of no other recordings of this sonata, but seeing that Arden gave the US premiere after studying with the guy, i trust his interpretation. i don't recommend this recording to just anyone as some of the music is difficult to swallow, but recommend it highly to people like minimalism with a loud and exciting bite(the two piano sonatas especially). in my mind, a winner"
