Alarm Will Sound / Alan Pierson (conductor)

[ Nonesuch / CD ]

Release Date: Sunday 1 November 2009

The New York Times has called Alarm Will Sound "one of the most vital and original ensembles on the American scene." On its Nonesuch debut, the group performs works that challenge in playful ways conventional notions of rhythm and pulse. The Guardian gives the album a perfect five stars for its "exuberant mix" of pieces, "dazzlingly well played, and a startlingly good beginning to their association with Nonesuch."
