About This Item
Seasonal Music is the first album of compositions by the remarkable thirty-nine year old American composer, Christopher Stark. Annotator Sean Shepherd writes of the Inchtremendous spaciousness, and a melancholy resonating throughoutInch the three recent works that make up this program. Speaking of the largest of these pieces, the virtuosic string quartet InchSeasonal MusicInch, Shepherd calls it Inchat times pictorial and descriptive- alternatively a vast exploration in sound and the possibilities of the quartet for it's own sake. InchStark is served brilliantly on this recording by three leading ensembles-the Momenta Quartet, the Los Angeles Piano Quartet and the Calyx Piano Trio with Scott Andrews, clarinet.
