Review

“There were bursts of patter, a contrapuntal intricacy and sudden, witty acknowledgments of tradition all used for painting intricate psychological states. Virtuosically played by the violinist Rolf Schulte and with Mr. Sherry, there was a sense less of technical similarities to [Elliott} Carter—though Mr. Karchin has apparently been attracted to Mr. Carter’s transformations of tempo and rhythm---than of spiritual affinities.”

Edward Rothstein, New York Times
