| “What informs almost every bar of the work is the blazing virtuosity of Tracy Silverman, playing a six-string electric violin. Listen to Silverman flinging seagull-like spirals and caws over Adams’ big and busy symphonic apparatus in the ecstatic finale and you will be astonished that anybody can play the fiddle like that.” — John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune”Tracy Silverman played as if he believed in every note and there was a whooping standing ovation.” — Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News”A showcase for the startling virtuosity of jazz electric violinist Tracy Silverman.” — Andrew Clements, The Guardian, (London)”Carismatic” — Stephen Pettitt, The Evening Standard, (London)
“Deeply expressive.” — Bradley Bambarger, NJ Star-Ledger “Adams explained to the audience, he hoped to evoke the spirit of Jack Kerouac in his novel “Big Sur.” He saw Silverman as a Kerouac stand-in, an opener of the “revelatory moment.” — Richard Scheinin, San Jose Mercury News |
