Recording: Time Tracks
Fanfare, May/June 1998
“This imaginative collection… offers up an exquisitely luscious account of La Maja y el Ruisenor… worth exploring”
This imaginative collection juxtaposes two pairs of works with different “approaches to time”: the Beethoven and Curran, according to Golan, attempt to come to terms with mortality by “transcending time”; the Granados and Nancarrow, in contrast, “establish a strong rhythmic underpinning that is rooted in real time and conjures up images of specific times and places.”
Golan’s Beethoven, with its imaginative rubato and its often striking articulation, provides its share of insights. She offers up an exquisitely luscious account of La Maja y el Ruisenor and she’s quite attuned to the contemporary works. The sound is excellent. All in all, worth exploring.
