Two delightful chamber works by the eminent Canadian composer John Weinzweig are featured on this recording, both of which highlight the more humourous and intimate side of Weinzweig’s music making.
“The sense of ‘presence’ is so vivid in some of the works (Weinzweig’s Contrasts, for example) that one can easily imagine live artists playing in one’s living room.”
– Robert Markow, High Fidelity
“John Weinzweig’s Contrasts for guitar [is] an interconnecting web of jazz, rhythmic cycles and 12-tone method which really delights.”
