Review: Sphinx Virtuosi Release Powerful, Celebratory Debut with ‘Songs of Our Times’

By Sofía Rocha
Published August 2, 2023
I CARE IF YOU LISTEN

“Divided, by Jessie Montgomery, is the other Sphinx commission for the album, with Tommy Mesa providing a stirring performance of the solo cello part. Montgomery draws the main motive out of the first two notes with exquisite care, keeping tension high before expanding the texture. The piece becomes more frenetic — the resigned main motive growing more impassioned — and the ensemble breaks into distinct layers. Though each layer moves at a different pace, they wax and wane in the same general shape, only coming together during a series of stirring climaxes.”
