David
Vernier:
"It's rare enough to
find a living composer whose music comes neither
from the school of minimalist tedium nor from the
"is everybody happy?"movement that
favors mixing as many different styles as
possible together to render a bland, ambiguously
flavored, ultimately forgettable stew. But to
find a composer whose music also has a point, and
a point of view, who is not afraid of expressing
human emotion and passion, is to discover
something truly special and worthy.
Vask’s music knows what it is and knows how to
reach listeners by touching them in the right
places - the places where memory and experience
meet modern concerns and emotions."CD
