Transcriptions are nothing to be ashamed of, but because there are no indications on the CD's cover that three of the four works here are new arrangements for string orchestra, Hänssler seems oddly reluctant to advertise the fact. The unsuspecting purchaser may be puzzled by the existence of a String Symphony No. 3 by Shostakovich, but this is really just a version for string orchestra of the String Quartet No. 3, Op. 73, as arranged by Dmitry Sitkovetsky, who has also reworked the youthful octet piece Prelude and Scherzo, Op. 11, and rearranged the Stravinsky/Dushkin violin and piano transcription of the Russian Song from Mavra. Only Stravinsky's Concerto in D appears as written. What this means to purists is anybody's guess, but Sitkovetsky is within his rights to enlarge the repertoire for his ensemble, the superb New European Strings, and adapting works for smaller string groupings seems a practical solution that does little harm to the composer's original intentions. Sitkovetsky's rendering of the String Quartet No. 3 is not garishly overblown or heavy-handed, and the feeling of Shostakovich's music is preserved in the arrangement's light textures and clarity. Some may miss the grit and penetrating quality of a quartet, but for that, there are several fine recordings available, and Sitkovetsky's alternate version, as enjoyable as it is, does not replace the original. The reproduction is excellent. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide

Like fellow composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, Morton Feldman experimented for a time with graphic notation, and toyed with the various possibilities of this looser, less prescriptive method. While free of serialist clichés and conventions, the musical results on Composing by Numbers are subject to the limitations of the players' collective imagination, and tend toward a rarefied pointillism -- a cliché in its own right -- that only a devoted fan can follow with persistence. If the brief pieces from the 1950s are heard individually, they seem frustratingly airy, abrupt, and aphoristic; but if heard in sequence, then the changes of instrumentation and different timbral effects at least provide some aural relief. Perhaps most satisfying for its spectral textures, continuity, and length is Intersection I (1951), which the Barton Workshop realizes with much fuller harmonies and richer sonorities. Out of "Last Pieces," The Straits of Magellan (both 1961), and In Search of an Orchestration (1967) are more active than the earlier Projections, and adventurous listeners may appreciate these later compositions for their greater complexity and tension. The ensemble, alternately conducted by James Fulkerson and Jos Zwaanenburg, specializes in the more arcane and experimental music of the late avant-garde, and its explorations of Feldman's graphic scores are a welcome addition to the catalog, even if they are not as absorbing or compelling as many of his later efforts. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide
