Those who love music with intellectual depth and structural solidity will find happy surprises in Herman Berlinski's Return, a song cycle for baritone and piano, and Sinfonia No. 10 for Cello and Organ on this disc.
The music is richly expressive, imaginative, melodious modern but firmly in touch with tradition. Berlinski plays the keyboard in both works, accompanying excellent performances by baritone Donald Boothman and cellist Lori Barnet.
