The gramophone2008 NovemberByByPhilip Clark2008 November"Music in Twelve Parts is a soulful score, packed with dramatic contrast and virtuoso ensemble writing. When the Glass Ensemble recorded the work in 1993 for Nonesuch they set such a high benchmark that any new recording inevitably comes with a weight of expectation. This latest version matches the boundless energy and honed precision of the earlier performance, while also adding an attractive "lived in" seasoning to the ensemble sound".
