Reviews:
“…under the direction of Jean-Louis LeRoux, this particular rendition of Chihara’s work is expertly played without feeling stiff or stilted (something that would have become apparent during the work’s more swinging sections). Chihara, who was the San Francisco Ballet’s Composer in Residence at the time of the ballet’s debut, has truly created a musical score that deserves to be in the same artistic league as Shakespeare’s The Tempest.” —John Vallier, AllMusic
