There are other echoes, too, from Schumann, Bartok, even folk music and rock. It adds up to something rich, strange and utterly riveting. The recording is beautifully fine-grained and warm, and the performances from Noriko Kawai have just the right combination of cat-like energy and delicate inwardness' BBC Music Magazine GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE James DILLON (b. 1950)___________________NMC D004 East 11th St NY 10003 La femme invisible • East 11th St NY 10003 • Windows and Canopies Music Projects London • Richard Bernas, conductor 'To hear this carnality in an orchestra is almost shocking.
