Press Quotes Deutsch
"Of the countless pieces of music inspired by Chicago, none that I have heard captures the true grit of our town better than Mark-Anthony Turnage's Chicago Remains... The composer hears Chicago as a Nelson Algren-like city on the make, a modern metropolis of pile-driver shocks, perpetually shifting meters and blunt, unruly beauty... Turnage has added an impressive new piece to his considerable oeuvre."
