Michael Hersch - The Wreckage of Flowers (CD)

Michael Hersch’s haunting disc of violin works, the wreckage of flowers, features all of Hersch’s music for violin written during the first decade of the 2000s. The recording, originally released in 2010, includes two works for unaccompanied violin: Five Fragments and Fourteen Pieces, alongside Hersch’s large-scale work for violin and piano of 2003, the wreckage of flowers: 21 pieces after texts of Czeslaw Milosz. Violinist Miranda Cuckson and pianist Blair McMillen perform.
