Reviews

The orchestral writing is eerie (particularly the recurring motif for solo flute), ominous, terrifying at times, desolate but also with some melodic patterns which suggest something more hopeful. I agree with Suddhaseel Sen who writes in his excellent booklet notes that after hearing this piece one regrets Sohal didn’t ever write an opera.
