Customer Reviews
Heartbreaking, beautifully done.
David Lang was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer for this work and I'm more that a little shocked that iTunes is not promoting this work more aggressivly. It is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl". Lang offers us a kind of secular passion. The work itself is musically inspired by the Mattew Passion of Bach. The work itself is scored for SATB with purcussion. Lang's minimalism is approperate here giving the tale a more intimate setting then the work that inspired it. It is indeed a very moving work that made an impression with the Pulitzer committee and will no doubt make an impression with you. This is an important work that will be sure to be performed for decades to come.
An alternate view
Being a fan of H.C.A.'s "Little Matchgirl" as a child and hoping this would affect me as an adult the way the original story did, I took a chance on this. No slam on the performance, this is just a monotonous piece with what seems an eternity of long held notes, nothing to move the soul at all. I'm a fan of Arvo Part, Henryk Gorecki, Christopher Rouse, and John Adams. This does not seem to me to be in the same league. Others may differ. Listen a lot before you purchase. Give it your attention and if you like it, buy. I'd give you my copy if it would do any good.
