Active and acute in his nineties, Elliott Carter has maintained his position as the leading American modernist, and his creative powers are undiminished. The fifth volume in Bridge's series brings together seven intimate miniatures and two substantial works. The Oboe Quartet is as fluid and rhythmically varied as any of the String Quartets, and the oboe's athletic part strongly recalls Carter's Sonata for flute, oboe, cello, and harpsichord, perhaps pointedly. Carter's inclination to reminisce should not be overlooked as an important aspect of his late works. Of Challenge and of Love, a song cycle for soprano and piano, is a major accomplishment, the composer's first foray in this medium since his Three Poems of Robert Frost. The full range of Carter's expression is employed in these five songs, though Quatrains From Harp Lake is the most effective and moving. The remaining pieces are short but not slight, and each shows Carter's care with small forms. Perhaps most significant of these are the Two Diversions, in which Carter's language is simplified in a manageable form for young pianists. Their transparency may serve newcomers as a good place to start with this composer. Excellent performances from Speculum, Tony Arnold, and Charles Rosen, among others, make this album stimulating and enjoyable. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide

The Music of Elliot Carter, Vol. 4 is an installment in Bridge Records' ongoing series of discs surveying the output of the eminent American composer. This is devoted, except in one instance, to works written at the end of the twentieth century. In 2003, Carter was still actively creating new works, quite an impressive feat as his "Opus 1" appeared way back in 1928. Of the new pieces, Luimen and Shard (both from 1997) are the standout works. Shard is a short work for acoustic guitar that can be described as a sort of a delicate jumble of fragmentary figures played with frightening precision by guitarist David Starobin. Luimen is a chamber piece further evolved from Shard that lasts about ten minutes. The most attractive feature of Luimen is the delicate interplay in quiet passages between the guitar, mandolin, and vibes used as part of the ensemble. The remaining new piece, Tempo e Tempi (1999), is a song cycle on Italian poetry for soprano and a motley collection of instruments, here performed by Speculum Musicae featuring the voice of Susan Narucki. Frankly, this is the least-satisfying work on the disc, as it mainly consists of Narucki's singing gliding above a non-supportive, non-blending ensemble in a manner familiar from mid century European works, such as those by Boulez and Dallapiccola. However, the "kicker" here is the first complete recording of Carter's Pieces (8) for timpani (1950 -- 1966) played with fantastic fleet-of-mallets and studied nuance by percussionist Daniel Druckman. The Bridge recording demonstrates amazing sensitivity to these instruments, and Carter's Pieces (8) provides an immediate and exciting multi-dimensional listening adventure. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis, All Music Guide
