New Music Concerts Ensemble- 100th Anniversary (CD)
More spare, yielding chamber music is found on the new Naxos disc. The 2005 Mosaic is Carter at his most inviting, in a program showing how even his minor works have a strong reason for existence. That disc comes with a bonus DVD documentary on the composer, not the best ever made, but at least providing face time with a composer who is as congenial as he is great.
Tracklist:
- Mosaic
- Scrivo In Vento
- Gra
- Enchanted Preludes
- Steep Steps
- Figment No.1
- 4 Lauds: No.2. Riconoscenza Per Goffredo Petrassi
- Figment No.2, "Remembering Mr. Ives"
- 4 Lauds: No.3. Rhapsodic Musings
- Dialogues
