ADVENTUROUS MUSIC, PLAYED WITH GREAT VERVE

"Americans Matt Gould (guitar) and Beth Ilana Schneider (violin) together make up Duo 46 and this excellent album features ten of their American commissions from interesting contemporary composers. These include works by Daniel Adams (Quandary: Pondering, Dialetic, Never Look Back?), Paul Richards (Asphalt Gypsy), Kristi McGarity (How the Hell are You Feeling?), Richard P. Schaefer (Structures No. 412), Pierre Jalbert (Sonatine), Joshua Penman (was the sky as liquid) and Neil Flory (Venn Music I). This is adventurous music, played with great verve."
