Heart-wrenchingly Beautiful - Musical Images Vol. 1 Album review

Jan 24, 2020

In his review of MUSICAL IMAGES FOR CHAMBER ORCHESTRA: REFLECTIONS AND RECOLLECTIONS, VOL. 1, Darren Rea at Review Graveyard has given album a top score of 10 out of 10.

"Mark John McEncroe (Dark Clouds in Life; Live in Ostrava; Musical Images for Piano; My Symphonic Poems) has a knack for delivering music that is capable of touching your heart and lifting your soul. It's a skill few composers possess these days, but McEnroe seems to be able to do it naturally and effortlessly. All of his albums released through Navona Records are ones I regularly dig out and listen to and still get a lot of pleasure from.

This is a diverse and heart-wrenchingly beautiful collection. The album, spread across two discs, contains 13 pieces (1 hr, 22 min, 12 sec). Treat yourself. You won't be disappointed."
