Tod Machover Recordings (click image to order)

 

In SACD, this CD provides an ideal opportunity to savor the richness, subtlety, variety and originality of Machover’s music.

 

 

“…manages to be at once technically rigorous, hard-charging, and hugely visceral.”
– The Boston Globe

 

 

“Mr. Machover’s new quartet, “… but not simpler …,” is a vigorous, exciting study in speediness, full of tremolando figures, racing lines and iridescent passages..”
– The New York Times

 

”A milestone and a noble achievement”
– Lloyd Schwartz, National Public Radio

 

 

 

”…one of the brightest and most intelligent of new American operas”
– Andrew Porter, The New Yorker

 

 

 

“…the music leaves an indelible aural effect upon the ear in its colorful writing, swirling figurations, and immediacy.”
– David DeBoor Canfield, Fanfare

 

 

”…Best of the Year”
– The Boston Globe
