Review: Between, November Sky

The principal concert, given by the Buffalo Philharmonic at the end of the week , was devoted to just two twenty-minute pieces-Mr. Felder's percussion concerto Between and Mr. Wuorinen's "Bamboula Squared". It was good to be able to hear two major pieces by him(Felder): November Sky, a duet for flutist and computer, descending from piccolo screams to the cool dark of the bass flute, as well as the percussion concerto. Both works showed the importance to a composer of being around performers [...] Rachel Rudich was the intensely active performer of November Sky; Steve Schick worked with athletic speed and grace on a battery of instruments frontstage in Between [...] The eventual orchestral performances were compelling and often beautiful.
