About:
"As Roger Reynolds approaches his 90th birthday, the urge to extend the limits of musical perception and meaning beyond those previously known remains a guiding motivation. [In this release, Mathias] Reumert, a multi-percussionist, conductor, and producer based in Copenhagen, … [brings] the perspective of the European millennial generation to Reynolds’s legacy of American innovation. [He] considers JOURNEY to be a work that “does not sound like anything else” the composer has written. Its sound world is here juxtaposed with that of Transfigured Wind III, which dates from 1984, and is one of a constellation of five works that evolved from a piece for solo flute written in 1965, Ambages." The Ekkozone CD release Reynolds: Wind Concertos was named "ALBUM OF THE YEAR" by the National Danish Radio.
