Reviews

  • "Krash has important things to say in her own unique compositional voice, and her pia-nistic gifts, along with the musical talents of the other performers in this well-recorded CD, bring her ideas off convincingly. This arresting and original music ought to be ex-plored by any reader with an interest in the music of our era."
