Title: Maybe Album of the Year
Product review: It might only be May, but Ms. Carter's new release, "Paganini: After a Dream" should be at or near the top of all the critics' lists come December. While this reviewer has greatly enjoyed all of her other releases, this recording is by far one of the best made by any artist in the past thirty years. Ms. Carter (one of the best musicians in any genre playing in the world right now) and her ensemble evoke such profound emotion on all of the tracks, but two particularly stand out: Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte" and Morricone's "Cinema Paradiso" theme. These works defy musical category; they are simply statements of pure artistic brilliance on the part of Ms. Carter and her colleagues, and listening to them will leave a lump in your throat. An absolutely extraordinary emotional statement.
