Sunrise of the planetary dream collector

"This brand new disc ... containing three works never before recorded. Perhaps the most interesting of them is Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector, which was the first piece Riley composed for the Kronos in 1980; if the music is rooted in Riley's experience as an improviser, it also makes concessions towards the Kronos's training in the classical tradition ... Gentle and humane, [One People, One Love] is a measure of the distance Riley's music has travelled in the last half-century".

"Rileys musik balancerer her smukt på kanten af det ensformige, men formår med kraftfulde understregninger og bratte stemningsskift også at mane et indre liv frem. Kronos Kvartetten er et stærkt og vedkommende bekendtskab, der stadig skaber uforglemmelige øjeblikke med små armbevægelser".

"These scores were created by an alchemical mix of Riley and the Kronos, best illustrated in newly-released Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector (1980): as it uncurls, keening and swooping into a dance of elastic, luminous interplay, the subtle flow of rhythmic impulse feels entirely spontaneous".
