Peter Sculthorpe: Mangrove: Orchestra: Instrumental Work This item is not available anymore with the seller Musicroom
John Rockwell of The New York Times says 'Lush and pictorial it consisted of sharply defined sections that courted the charge of mere exoticism - evocations of Oriental musics and sounds full of throbbing strings rapidly reiterated percussion and all manner of aural colour presumably inspired by alien cultures. But Mr Sculthorpe is no simple-minded purloiner of sonic artifacts; his piece coheres into a statement by a distinctive composer with something interesting and evocative to say.'10 June 1984 Instrumentation : Publisher : |
