David Robert Coleman’s intensely expressive music owes some of its virtuoso magic to artistic ancestors such as Alban Berg. Zwiegespräch has the solo viola perform an imaginary interior conversation, while the impressionistic Ibergang takes a klezmer-like melodic snatch on a multi-layered journey. The widely performed Starry Night is a set of chorale variations; Fanfare and Palimpsest is Coleman’s reply to Ives’s Unanswered Question, and the Three Character Pieces sum up an aesthetic which alights on myriad moments, never resting for long on its laurels of beauty and subtle vehemence.
