“… he [Currie] displays remarkable control of his army of instruments. Superb stereo audio throughout. A fascinating if rather brief (52:42) disk…”

Robert Benson – ClassicalCDReview.com – July 2021

“… One could hardly ask for a better soloist in either piece than Currie, who’s one of the most invigorating percussionists on the scene today. He’s got Gruber’s idiosyncratic style – the impish humor, mix of light and shadow, sentimentality and seriousness – in his bones and, in both Rough Music and Into the open… you know you’re in expert hands… this release is a welcome addition to Currie’s endlessly fascinating discography – as well as to Gruber’s.”

Jonathan Blumhofer – theartsfuse.org – 1 May 2021

Performance *** Recording ****

“… Colin Currie proves a brilliant advocate; indeed into the open … (2009-10) was written for him… Rough Music (1982-83), once described by Gruber as ‘percussive noise-making in all its extrovert forms’. With textures bursting at the seams, Currie’s performance matches the composer’s charisma.”

Steph Power – BBC Music magazine – May 2021
