Eric funk -- worth listening to and keeping track of
R. Dano | USA | 11/10/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Eric Funk's first disc is impressive. As a relatively young composer his music has both depth (without a sense of torpid academia) and simplicity (without condescension). The Czech Radio performance is a bit unpolished, but convincing. The Symphony No.1 is pleasant to listen to and intellectually engaging at times.'Lidice" is a powerful programmatic work that chronicles the destruction of a Czech town by the Nazis. Its naive and rustic openning is propelling and gay. Its demise is effectively portrayed without being overly maudlin.Funk has an excellent sense for orchestral color and rhythmic ostinati that keep one's interest. I am excited to see the development of his style in future releases. I highly recommend this compelling recording."
