Press Quotes
"Birtwistle’s 25-minute single movement returns to one of his long-established principles, that of meshing and layered musical clockworks (the sequences of the title) that generate a large-scale form of tremendous energy."
The Guardian
"…a tessellation of mechanised, ostinato-based small sections, spikily gestural but with nudgings of polyphony, and a stark challenge to performers in the matter of rhythm and unorthodox ensemble. Thanks to the Ardittis’ calm aptitude for the most savage modernist idioms, it emerged rather wonderfully as a unified span, the sequences flowing confidently together, right down to the final, unexpected unison A."
Sunday Times
"…a perpetual motion of reinvented patterns…"
