Piece Comment

Review of A Voice Of Warning


I hesitate to give 5 star reviews; it's rare that I feel a piece couldn't be improved in some way. But I've listened to this piece four times - twice on my own, and twice in showing it to other people - and even on that fourth listen, I was riveted. The contrast between the extreme emotional content and the monotone of Jade's computer-assisted narration is very effective, and you can tell that he constructs his phrases carefully. A painful, beautifully-made piece.
