To You Through

Released

This collection of contemporary-music performances by young Canadian cellist India Gailey is impressively diverse and beautifully performed. Fjóla Evans’s prismatic drones, neo-Baroque Philip Glass, electroacoustic work from Michael Gordon, and Gailey’s own singing and composition all appear in near-perfect sequence. A fulfilling tour of the contemporary-classical scene that never gets bogged down in any one style or affect.
