Album Description
David Starobin's award-winning "New Music with Guitar" series continues with the release of Volume Six. This CD includes solo and chamber works written between 1992 and 2000, performed by Grammy-nominated guitar virtuoso David Starobin, backed by Pulitzer prize-winning composer/percussionist George Crumb and Speculum Musicae. The disc features guitar solos by Gunther Schuller, Michael Starobin, Richard Wernick, Melinda Wagner, David Liptak, and Paul Lansky--all in premiere recordings. Volume Six also contains George Crumb's "Mundus Canis"--with the composer performing (and whispering and yelling) on percussion. Starobin and Crumb have toured throughout the USA and Europe with this series of "dog portraits" delighting audiences and critics with these five humoresques. To conclude the disc, Elliott Carter's fantastically inventive sextet, "Luimen" is performed by Speculum Musicae, New York City's virtuoso new music band. London's "Classical Guitar" magazine says of David Starobin: "First and foremost there is the incredible David Starobin. His contribution has been invaluable, without price, impossible to estimate. If there were an award for the player most likely to further the cause of the guitar in the musical mainstream, we would be inclined to nominate David Starobin"

4 out of 5 stars I'm going to risk buying this..........2007-07-16

I heard perhaps three of the Joshua Variations on my local NPR station the other day and they were outstanding. Merry, light, captivating... not the sort of music I associate with "new music." I'm afraid the rest of the pieces will live down to my expectations, new music-wise. I'll check back when I get the CD.
