Kernis is a very astute composer whose drive seems not so much that of 'startle and amaze' effect as one of creating richly colored pieces that hold reverence for the past and embrace the history of music of the 20th century. This CD contains two aspects of Kernis' gift for colorful instrumental writing. The 'Symphony in Waves' is a stunning beauty that opens to a barely audible moments, which almost suggests Debussy's 'La Mer', gradually working its way towards pulsating sounds of strings that serve as ground for delicate almost percussive and pianistic registers with waves of swelling sound, sending the winds into rapid vibrations, all leading to a loud, throbbing climax.

This might not be what you had in mind, but you asked for ARGO and I needed to reup this CD, so here you go. You get what you ask for. :)
