Title
The Far Country
1993





“…epic landscapes in sound…pieces for darkness with mountains in it…” – Creative Loafing: #1 Contemporary Classical Recording of 1993

“…some of the most individual and beautiful music on today’s scene…” – In Tune

“…a music that is both intently personal and utterly compelling…the suave sensuality of Takemitsu with the sparse astringency of Feldman…Adams has given Alaska itself a distinctive and identifiable ‘sonic geography’.” – Chorus!

Adams's swelling orchestral work may be the loveliest apocalypse in musical history. - Alex Ross, New Yorker
