Gil Rose and his audacious Boston Modern Orchestra Project ensemble have made it: This delightfully spirited release of ballets by John Alden Carpenter is the 100th to emerge on BMOP/sound, the ensemble’s record label. It’s an astonishing achievement, as much for the fund-raising and other administrative work that has been involved in bringing each of the recordings to life as for the artistic courage and technical accomplishment that mark the music-making on them all.
- David Allen, The New York Times on John Alden Carpenter: Complete Ballets, August 2024
On "Trouble" members of The Boston Modern Orchestra Project perform music that is refined in its conception, purposeful in its scoring and thoroughly involving as a listening experience. The interaction of instrumentalists animating each piece in these excellent performances communicates a collective dynamic rather than a lone creative voice being granted expression by an orchestra.
- Julian Cowley, The WIRE Magazine on Vijay Iyer's "Trouble", August 2024 Issue
Whatever your mood, this album has something for you. And I mean it.
