ABOUT THIS CD
This recording is part of the Centrediscs’ Canadian Composers Portraits series which documents the emergence of a generation of pioneering professional composers who firmly established Canada’s place on the world’s musical map. Each release in this retrospective of the last fifty years is dedicated to a single composer and uniquely combines full-length documentaries on the composers’ lives and music, as well as a selection of their most important works.
"Chistina Petrowska Quilico gives an outstanding performance of these intricate minimalist works that range from contemplative to ebullient."
- David Olds,
Wholenote
"Southam is a minimalist, but her music resists all but the most superficial comparisons with Reich, Glass and the rest: she manages to be process-oriented and classical at the same time. Rating: 9 out of 10."
- Jerry Bowles,
Sequenza21
"In this context of the series of composer portraits,
Rivers fits in nicely, representing a remarkable manifestation of minimalism in Canadian music."
- Stephanie Moore,
