REVIEWS

























"However, it is the contribution of Ukrainian composer Maxim Shalygin that most appeals to the imagination. Oil upon your shore' is full of charming sound effects and has a compelling form. A piece you immediately want to hear again, preferably in the excellent performance by the Nederlands Kamerkoor."
