Cry Wolf by Angus MacRae
Cry Wolf is a collection of 7 intimate pieces for piano and (occasionally) cello, composed in the winter of 2016.
"The album begins with a trio of lovely waltzing piano melodies (“Holding Patterns”, “Mirror Lake”, and “Cry Wolf”) set off nicely with subtle gossamer threads of electronics. “Spring Nocturne” begins as a duet with a plaintive dialog between piano & cello before dissipating into a diaphanous swirl which nicely segues into a pair of entrancing, atmospheric solo pieces (“Spindrift”, “Vespers”). The final coda is the ardent duet “The Distance Between” which fittingly winds its way to a satisfying sense of closure. This is one that should really hit the sweet spot for modern classical listeners."
