| Above a continuous soft string texture, purloined from Ives's Central Park in the Dark, there are some extraordinary passages [in Star Child], such as the duet between soprano and trombone. Susan Narucki is consistently excellent and Joseph Alessi, through his athletic trombone, speaks the words of the prayer for deliverance. Peter Dickinson |
