 A response to the poor review below August 20, 2009
Alison Conard (Montreal, QC Canada)
V.L. Mundy's review is, as he or she freely admits, from the standpoint of complete ignorance. Davidovsky is a canonic composer whose reputation is undeniable. This is not to say that a good reputation makes one's music good; it does not. In the case of Davidovsky, though, his acumen as a composer matches his stellar reputation.
This recording is very well done with fantastic performances and recording quality. I particularly like Cantione Sine Textu, which creates a sonic world unlike anything I've heard before.
 Sounds like the background music in a horror flick December 7, 2007

I have no idea who this Mario Davidovsky is, but I know who he isn't--and that's a man with a CD of his in my house. I had to look him up on Wikipedia to see what he was about, but it didn't help much. This truly sounds like background music in horror flicks or sci-fi flicks... and maybe a couple of cartoons where Sylvester is sneaking up on Tweety. But there is NO tune at any time. I mean, you cannot hum this stuff because there is nothing to hum. It's a bunch of screeching and yodeling.
Maybe I just don't have an appreciation for this kind of music, but I know one thing. I will never complain to myself about listening to my children practicing their instruments again, because even as brand new instrumentalists, they sound a whole lot better.
This CD was given to me. Rest assured I would never have purchased this for myself. No wonder it's hard to find.
