Review: Les Quatre Temps Cardinaux

All the pieces in Sunday's concert […] might have inspired the title 'Surround Sound,' but it was the Felder work that made it literally true, bouncing electronic sounds and samples around an array of speakers located throughout the auditorium. To call Felder's Les Quatre Temps Cardinaux 'electronics-enhanced' would be like calling Brahms's First Symphony 'horn-enhanced.' The electronics were so integral to this ambitious, 50-minute-long meditation on time that they became a third soloist, taking over entirely from the orchestra at several points in extended solo cadenzas.
