	"…the music takes off with quickly building kinetic energy. The solo part is chased by orchestral interjections until in the ruminating middle section of this single-movement, 25-minute work the music finds room to breathe. Here a lush string tune is decorated by tuned cowbells before the soloist moves to a steel drum to make chamber music with piano, harp, flutes, double basses and a solo viola’s jagged lines." <ref> Daily Telegraph </ref>		"…the music takes off with quickly building kinetic energy.
