EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Del Sol Quartet s latest album features the world premiere recording of Terry Riley s Dark Queen Mantra, a new quintet by the groundbreaking musical explorer, written for Del Sol and Terry s son, Gyan Riley, guitar. Stefano Scodanibbio s Mas Lugares re-imagines Monteverdi Madrigals, taking these masterpieces of Renaissance polyphony to new sonic landscapes. Del Sol also illuminates the gently shifting tabla rhythms and melancholy jazz harmonies of Riley s quartet, The Wheel & Mythic Birds Waltz.
