"I bought this after hearing a performance of "August 22" at Mannes last spring. I have never been drawn to choral music outside of requiems and opera, but I then i started getting into Arvo Part and now Wilson, which I find here to be exciting, funny, melancholy, and at times very frightening. I had never heard of this Wilson guy before, but people tell me his is big in NYC. I think this CD is great, particulary, "In Schrafft's" is a knockout. Warmly Recommended"

Very Fine

"It took me awhile to get into Wilson's music, but it proved to be worth it. I can't believe how musicians can play such difficult music, but this group seems to do it l very easily. I'm glad I took the time"
