Analyse:
 

“Not to be missed on any account. This is without question one of my top recordings of the year, a ground-breaking release which points to the future scope of CD presentation. The Metier CD's given total timing is a very sufficient 68 minutes, but the [multimedia] package offers you several additional hours instruction and illumination. The extras are easy to access and navigate; they work like a charm and enhance enjoyment and appreciation exponentially." - Peter Grahame Woolf (Musical Pointers)

“Heard from the next room it might be possible to confuse Sadie Harrison’s eloquently crafted compositions with the interleaved traditional Afghani music. Both styles are elegantly played and wonderfully recorded. Metier releases always sound excellent. David Lefeber has curated a catalog of consistently impressive discs. In such lofty company, this one still stands out. Metier has accomplished something quite remarkable with Harrison’s amazing music and the Bakhtar’s vibrant playing. Indisputably one of this year’s best.” - Grant Chu Covell (La Folia)

“Harrison has somehow managed to marry contrasting traditions, inter-relating them by association yet leaving the integrity of each intact. And that is no small achievement. I have heard various works by this still-young composer in the past, yet here I feel she has finally defined her own individuality. Find the CD and buy it.” - Colin Clarke (MusicWeb)

“distinctive, pungent music that demands close attention.” - Andrew Clements (The Guardian)

“The performances are as committed as expected. Would that all fusions of ‘world’ and ‘art’ music evinced such individuality and conviction.” - Richard Whitehouse (International Record Review)
