I wanted to tell you about this project for a few reasons. First, I’ve been taking every opportunity to talk and write about Christine Jensen’s music for 20 years now, because she’s one of the most compelling voices in Canadian music. Second, because something of this project’s special atmosphere comes across on the album. Everybody, women and men, plays with particular care. The three composers’ languages are compatible, Trudel’s more impressionistic, Davidson’s perhaps more direct, but all in a similar, deeply engaging vein.
