This recording presents first performances of four recent scores by Arlene Sierra (b. 1970), the American composer, now living in London. Arlene Sierra’s music packs volcanic rhythmic power into compositions that are at once atmospheric, yet possessed of inexorable forward drive. The subject matter of Sierra’s compositions is far flung, and includes East Asian studies, evolutionary biology, entomology, game theory, siege engines, and architecture, to name but a few. ...superb performances capture the visceral quality and detail of Sierra’s virtuosic scores.
Bridge Records
The music is pointillistic and builds tension throughout... Overall, this music catches your attention from the beginning. Sierra’s music is atonal, but with her heavy use of repetition and accessible (sometimes groovy) rhythms, her music may feel familiar to you even at first listen.
Molly Yeh, WQXR - Q2 Music
Music may be atonal, but is engaging in its own atonal way, so to speak. Piano concerto is complex and worthy of repeated listenings. And the composer is a looker, too. :)
