Ringed by the Flat Horizon
這部作品包含了一些有史以來最令人吃驚的精確風暴音樂--似乎與其說是喚起人們對事物本身的記憶,不如說是聲音本身。但它的意義遠不止於此:艾略特的詩句暗示了音樂的形式,而這部作品是音樂,而不僅僅是插圖。它通過一種原創的、令人信服的音樂邏輯,通過對各種音色的巧妙控制來實現'"

原文簡介:
The work contains some of the most startlingly precise storm music ever written - it seems less evocation than the sound of the thing itself. But there is more to it than that: Eliot's lines suggested form for the music, and the piece is music, and not just illustration. It moves through an original and convincing musical logic which is realized through a masterly control of varied sonorities.'
Boston Globe (Richard Dyer), September 1987
