Corigliano: Phantasmagoria on 'The Ghosts of Versailles', etc.

October 2005

“…music that sounds pointedly ironic one moment, warmly open-hearted the next, where desolation alternates with uproarious humour, orgiastic violence with touching sentimentality. …the performances are highly accomplished and seem thoroughly absorbed throughout, and the recordings don't let them down - everything emerges with clarity and conviction.”
