Reviews

“The chamber ensemble of wizardly Cleveland musicians reflects the disc’s giddy title in a program of infectious, colorful works, including several by local composers. Poetic urgency and insouciance abound in two scores by Margi Griebling-Haigh. In Thomas Janson’s “Oboe Machinations,” oboe, English horn and piano engage in intriguing banter, while eerie things occur in Michael Daugherty’s “Viola Zombies for Two Violas.” Music by Astor Piazzolla, Gordon Jacob and Richard Strauss round out the enchanting menu. Grade: A”
