“Jessie Montgomery’s Grammy-nominated Rounds for solo piano and string orchestra created a dappling watery world, as Debussy met Glass in repeating figures. At times we heard a very strong metric four with threes wanting to interject…the moon rose over the water in rolling shimmers…round and rondelet…sweeping…serene…scene painting if not intelligible story telling…emotive, nostalgic middle section repeating with difference…quiet coda…furioso, the piano disgorged scales, arpeggios, octaves, ostinatos and delicate ornamentations (up to this point Pratt hadn’t expanded to full-scale virtuosity)…then back to the quiet beginning with more Glassian figures… A well semaphored climax signified dramatic closure.”
