Tom Flaherty’s Conversation, a first performance, made brief but sweet interlude, inertwining and juxtaposingthe instruments to plaintive effect. [Mark Hill, oboe; Robin Peller, flute] |
–Donal Henahan, The New York Times |
This piece, sensitively played by Madeline Berkely (flute) and Helmut Seeber (oboe is, as the title suggests, a dialogue between the two instruments in a lyrical, atonal style. And thanks for repeating this item. [Concorde] |
