Editorial Reviews
Robert Carl, Fanfare
"This new recording finds [Buckner] at the top of his form. I find every piece but one (Bekaert's) to be a winner, and one (Duckworth) to be masterful.

...I find there to be real evident musicality in all that Buckner does... He shapes and colors his phrases artfully, and pays such close attention to diction and intonation that one hears a constant intense listening on his part in every moment of a score's realization. And over several years' encounters, both in concert and on disc, I find he grows ever more musical. This is a wonderful recital, a gem above all for the Duckworth, but eminently worthy for almost all the other music on the program. Highly recommended."

Album Description
This CD contains works by William Duckworth, Thomas Buckner, Jacques Bekaert, David Wessel and Somei Satoh -- united by their themes of the quest for self knowledge. Composed of fragments from the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller and Gertrude Stein, and Thomas McGrath, William Duckworth's text reveals the multiple perspectives of an unknown couple whose post-modern love story emerges. Thomas Buckner's improvisation, Inner Journey, is dedicated to the spirit and musical techniques of a beloved friend. Jacques Bekaert takes musical material from a popular Cambodian song to reflect some of the emotions, hopes and pains anyone approaching that tragic land must feel and evoke an inner landscape. In the David Wessel's piece, Buckner's musical discourse is with the computer. Finally, Somei Satoh compares his work for voice and orchestra to his own meditation, "serene on the surface, yet burning vehemently like a flame."
