Read "Instrumental Duos" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

Frances-Marie Uitti/Paul Griffiths: There Is Still Time

Read "There Is Still Time" reviewed by John Kelman


Like its more jazz-centric regular issues, ECM's New Series--which has focused almost exclusively on classical composition, with a strong predilection for contemporary writers like Arvo Pärt and Giya Kancheli--has provided safe haven for projects that blur the boundaries of strict definition.
