Exciting

Robert Jame | 04/08/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have heard of Huang Ruo, although I never had a chance to hear his music. After listening to the entire Chamber Concerto Cycle, I need to say that his music grabs you in a way no other music would. Any fans of contemporary music would appreciate his sound world and unique style. Huang Ruo's music runs the gamut of human emotion. It is intense, exciting, theatrical, and evokes images of modern dance, using voice in unexpected ways. The music is compelling, filmic, and sophisticated. This music also includes a great deal of Eastern elements, which are integrated very well with Western elements. It is very inventive and full of contrast and dynamism. The result is totally original and fresh."

Excellent

"The International Contemporary Ensemble is one of the most talented group of young musicians I've encountered. The caliber of the performance on this disk is tantalizing! New music is always the victim of shabby productions, but not when in the hands of this group. Huang Ruo, an excellent young composer in his own right, should be honored that his music has been rendered with such care. I'm sure the Ensemble Intercontemporain would be proud!"

An Excellent Composer . . .

"Huang Ruo is an exceptionally good composer and this recording is brilliantly performed as well. This is one of the best efforts I have heard in some time."
