Time Out New York says:
"Yes, we’re prone to hyperbole on occasion, but trust us when we say that Darmstadt’s Essential Repertoire series, which runs through Oct 26, is one of the most significant musical presentations of the season. In each concert, prominent interpreters explore an aspect of contemporary-classical music past or present; the series gets underway with a program devoted to music of the New York School—John Cage, Earle Brown, Morton Feldman and Christian Wolff—and no one illuminates this realm with more sympathy and conviction than the players of Ne(x)tworks."
