- Audiophile Audition
"Prediction: The visionary new music, system-testing percussion and virtual rainbow of colours ... guarantee that it will become a hit among music-loving audiophiles ... inventive genius that courses through the recording’s three compositions ... is, in and of itself, enrapturing, formidable and breathtaking ... spectacular colouristic and percussive effects captured by the Soundmirror engineering team ... (the most spectacular piece of the lot, Norman’s Switch), showcases the phenomenal percussionist Colin Currie, as well as the orchestra’s percussion ensemble."
- Stereophile
The Utah Symphony Orchestra celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2015 by commissioning three significant and adventurous works by leading composers Augusta Read Thomas, Nico Muhly and Andrew Norman. Performed at concerts throughout the year, the pieces were recorded live and released on this acclaimed audiophile album in April 2016. World-renowned percussionist Colin Currie joins the orchestra on Norman’s Switch.
