Composer-bandleader Darcy James Argue wrote up a detailed account of what appears to have been a fairly electrifying concert by Alarm Will Sound at Zankel Hall. Argue is insightful, evocative, entertaining and not uncritical when it seems to have been warranted. Don't miss it. Maury D'annato, of My Favorite Intermissions fame, offers another welcome perspective, that of the non-new-music specialist responding honestly and candidly to information received. Good stuff.
