Selected Reviews

Stephen Barber, MusicWeb International, May, 2026 "Light Pearls through Prisms is a solo work, powerfully and idiomatically written for the piano. It makes much use of repetition, and its texture and mood are to me reminiscent of late Scriabin.

Ben Hogwood, Presto Music, May 2026 Compelling is the music of Augusta Read Thomas. Thomas reflects the…motion of sunlight.
Light Pearls Through Prisms is a vivid musical realization of its title for solo piano, while the thrilling Illuminations is the most explicitly American sounding of the compositions.
The music of ‘Gusty', a Chicago native, thrives on this album in excellent performances and recordings that prove both dazzling and hypnotic."
