"UNTAMING THE FURY" Summit Records, DCD-346

FIRST RATE PERFORMANCES 

"Matt Gould and Beth Ilana are championing exciting music by a new generation composers. Their energetic, first-rate performances are only rivaled by their penchant for commissioning up-and-coming composers. Judging by the range of music contained on this disc, Duo 46 isn't interested in a singular compositional approach or musical niche. Listening is perpetual discovery and along the way you'll stumble upon fractured and harried hoedowns, riotous flamenco, Drum 'n Bass, unadulterated lyricism, baffling textures, complexity, virtuosity, utter simplicity—sometimes all within a single piece."
