Mario Davidovsky remains perhaps the least known of the elder generation of the
New York avant-garde composers. Although he has won nearly every major award-
from Pulitzer Prize to Guggenheim Fellowships- his music has rarely been
recorded. In fact, this is the first full CD ever to be dedicated completely to
his music. This release features three world premiere recordings: Flashbacks,
the title track, scored for clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion;
Festino, for guitar, viola, cell and bass; and Quartetto No. 2 for oboe and
string tri. Also included are Synchronsims No. 10 for guitar and tape, Romancero,
a setting of ancient Spanish poetry, and String Trio. Throughout, Davidovsky’s
highly refined ear amazes and entertains us with rich detail.
