November 2019
Katherine Manley and Iarla Ó Lionáird bring tremendous colour and clarity to the storytelling.
Awards Issue 2019
The Hunger features an eerily spectral, hollowed-out soundscape consisting of convulsive microtonal pulsing in woodwind and brass against uneasy shifting microtonal oscillations, disembodied harmonics and skeletal ponticello in strings…A haunting, illuminating, harrowing yet subtly gripping work.
29th August 2019
Effectively it’s a song cycle in five extended parts, in which the musical worlds of the two protagonists gradually merge, while the John Adams-like ensemble writing pulses away beneath them.
