“With many of the world-class artists performing on Wings being well-known to Chicago audiences, such as Mathias Tacke, Eugenia Moliner, Denis Azabagić, and Kuang-Hao Huang, coupled with Levin’s own ties to the area, this album was a no-brainer to be a featured New Release on WFMT. The two individual movements of title work Asas (for clarinet, violin, and piano) is likely to remain in circulation for the charm of the first movement “Bem-te-vi” with its catchy birdsong motif and the atmosphere of the second movement “Sabiá,” evoking morning in a Brazilian forest. The rhythmic energy of “Norte-Sul” from Linguas Fraternas (for viola and piano) is also appealing for repeated listening.”
Oliver Camacho, Music Director, WFMT “Blending 20th-century harmonic gestures with charmingly lyrical and programmatic themes, the pieces featured on this album are both enticing and, at times, a bit challenging…exudes a palpable sweetness and joy throughout.” Rick Anderson, CD HotList |
