Kernis’ “Siren for Solo Flute, 7 Flutes and Piccolo” was commissioned by and premiered at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. The Seattle Times said “The incredibly nimble flutist Marina Piccinini played all the parts. The intricacy of the interweaving musical lines, the wonderfully dexterous and subtle playing, and the sheer virtuosity of Piccinini’s technique were all heightened by the clever manipulation of the images. This performance must be seen and heard to be believed.”
Gapplegate Music Review blog said “There is a commanding sense of orchestral color that is matched by an ever-burgeoning inventive continuousness” in Kernis’s new Naxos disc with Giancarlo Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony,”…masterful fare, brilliantly expansive…Kernis deserves your attention, especailly this one.”
