Dark Wood is a solo album by cellist David Darling recorded in 1993 and released on the ECM label. The album is Darling's third solo release following Journal October (1979) and Cello (1992) Reception The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson awarded the album 3 stars stating "However mannered the presentation may be, though, this music is really stunning. All of it moves slowly, like a dark cloud formation, as spare lines pile up on one other and pizzicato sections nudge up against long, sustained tones... Highly recommended".
