Album Notes

"From the title alone, one would expect Rain Worthington’s Shredding Glass, performed by the Czech Philharmonic, to be a work of brutal nature, especially when put in the context of its original inspiration: the events of 9/11. But Worthington’s piece provides the listener instead with exquisite disintegration, mere glass filaments casting light in all directions, with an undercurrent of unresolved apprehension. …The texture is transparent but luminous, reminiscent perhaps of the late works of Mahler." – Scott Locke ((Journal of International Alliance of Women in Music)

Czech Philharmonic, Robert Ian Winstin, Conductor
