Awards and reviews

October 2017

The Seattle Symphony Orchestra captures the dreamlike state, taking on the different characters as the narratives weave in and out of the overreaching story of revolution.

30th July 2017

Morlot completely embraces the American spirit in this irresistible recording of three orchestral suites evoking Ives’s United States. Brash brass-band music, hymn tunes, barn dances and church bells fade in and out of these impressionistic canvases, colliding and overlapping with each other in gloriously gleeful abandon.

6th July 2017

They do brilliantly atmospheric things in the dankest passages of Three Places and New England Holidays – mercurial textures full of suggestion and threat.
