“To judge from this powerful new compilation, the music of young American composer Eric Nathan would seem to be as diverse as it is arresting. [...] Yet as multifaceted as the composer’s stylistic voice may be, there’s a constant vein of ingenuity and expressive depth through the entire lineup, and the performances are splendid throughout.”
“Eric Nathan — on the evidence of “Multitude Solitude” (Albany Records) — is among the new American voices worth hearing in solo and chamber compositions [...] The expert performances reveal a young composer with his own style and certainty, forthright, never overbearing, but at the same time not burdened by excessive reserve.”
“...Eric Nathan reflects on the tormented, avant-garde Renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo in a piece that dramatizes the push-and-pull between past and present. ”
