CD review: Tristan Murail - Winter Fragments
Erin Lesser, flutist; Argento Chamber Ensemble, conducted by Michel Galante
Aeon AECD 0746; CD
The New York Times, March 25, 2007
(Amazon.fr, FNAC.com)
Prior to filing this review, I ascertained from the Aeon label's American distributor that there were no plans to release this disc here, which is why the last line refers interested potential consumers to Amazon.fr and FNAC.com. Such details are always subject to change, however: Winter Fragments will be available through British e-tailers Amazon.co.uk and Crotchet on April 2, and ArkivMusic now lists it as an April 10 release. A subsequent U.S. release through the usual channels may well follow.
Update: Michel Galante has pointed out an advance listing for an April 10 release on Barnes & Noble, as well.
