"In contrast to the city's minimalists, Wuorinen is a New York maximalist, a consummate wielder of rich, relentless polyphony, complex and speedily rhythmic textures, able to show each time that high modernism is not only alive and kicking, but a very emblem of the vigour of living."
(The Sunday Times)
"It's his chamber music...that shows his dense, busy language at its most powerful, and the two works here...show its expressive range and the formal ingenuity with which Wuorinen deploys it...The ensemble pieces are paired with substantial solo works - the Scherzo for piano, dashingly well played by Peter Serklin, and the impressive Viola Variations, which Lois Martin turns into a tour de force."
