    TRIP TO TWELVE TONE TOWN

    "It's fascinating how the rock element emerges, naturally, from the baseline. Jerry Lee Lewis would approve of the main body of that movement." [Fanfare Magazine]

    PASO DEL FUEGO

    “To hear [his music] is to be carried along a road of blazing colors, through rugged terrain that’s virtually sand-blasted by rhythm and topped with melodies speaking of beautiful doom. It grabs the gut. It fascinates. It should be performed far and wide.” [San José Mercury News]
  • REVIEWS

    PASO DEL FUEGO

    “This concerto for string quartet and string orchestra, is the most appealing and imaginative works of his I’ve heard. It unites the bounce and vigor of his violin ad electronics piece, Sureña: Memorias Australes, with the geniality of his concerto for bandoneon and strings. The music has bite and wit...” [San Francisco Classical Voice]

    SUREÑA

    “[Sureña] felt timeless: hugely amplified violin served as the narrow present, with computer-vague prophecies and electronic echoes... we knew that we were on the wrong side of the mirror, the balance of the fire and ice broken in the glass.” [Piedmont Post]
  • REVIEWS

    SUREÑA

    “Graeme Jennings, once of the Arditti Quartet, proved a mesmerizing protagonist in Pablo Furman’s Sureña: Memorias Australes... Pizzicato passages return sounding like Javanese temple gongs, birds flutter, and Argentine dance emerges from the loudspeakers and Jennings solos in a concerto whose accompaniment is of his own devising.” [Financial Times}
  • REVIEWS

    CONCERTINO

    “Furman’s [Concertino], which matches the fire and dignity of tango, conveys a wistful, lost-in-thought lyricism.” [San José Mercury News]
