“Music for a Time of War is a compelling and inspired example of intelligent programme planning, and it’s extremely well played by the Oregon Symphony conducted by Carlos Kalmar… The live recorded sound is exceptionally vibrant.”
July 2012
“The Unanswered Question is given a refined and cultivated reading...Sylvan is a most eloquent soloist...Kalmar’s interpretation [of the Vaughan Williams] is probing. He controls the stretches of quiet music very well while the climaxes have strength.”
