A DUST IN TIME

“Delivered with sensitivity and patience by the Del Sol players, Ruo’s score begins with virtually single-note phrases from the cello and viola, excavations of beauty from the elemental, like the slow movements of late Beethoven quartets. Almost imperceptibly, the music builds in force and complexity toward a radiant and churning central section before returning to the quiet strands of the opening. An hour could have passed, or more, or less. It doesn’t matter: Losing yourself in this space outside time is part of the point.”
