Darling's early dark work

10/15/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Forget Darling's new age dabblings -- this CD and the work he had done with Bjornstad and others (The Sea and The River)on ECM is intensely brooding and beautiful. "Choral" is simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard in the last ten years -- it rivals Arvo Part's work in austerity and beauty."

Compelling

"Solo Cello. I was not familair with David Darling, but my l,ove of the Cello led me to pick this album up. I'm glad I did. Darling brings a lot of intensity to the table. And it's a solid production too.I also bought the collaboration with Ketil Bjornstad (The River) which is pleasant - but sometimes slips into New Age blandness. Not so here. Thsi album is a nice additional to my collection."
