Review: Fabulous. Adventurous. Spellbinding. These two women introduce us to the two extremes in pitch in the woodwind section, bass clarinet & flute, combine them with electronic punctuation and texture, and give us a whole new perspective on what is possible in the world of music. Plus, like the scordatura challenge, we get to see the full range of what these instruments are capable of. I love it when someone tries something new, and especially when it works as well as this disc does.
