This release by composer and pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse received a Grammy award for Best Classical Vocal Solo Performance, but it has also been reviewed in New Age publications and might just as easily fall into that genre. The album consists of a group of pieces (there is nothing that really makes them a single composition) for various forces, not all of them vocal, and recorded over a period of several years. The titles refer to various figures from Greek mythology, in a nod to Vlasse's Greek heritage. One might be hard-pressed to detect this without the textual indications; the pieces could serve pretty well as science fiction scores or music for a New Age retreat. This said, the harmonies of sopranos Hila Plitmann and Sangeeta Kaur are attractive, and the small chamber orchestra is held together by the periodic appearances of Vlasse's piano. The music gets points for variety and for being unlike anything else out there, except perhaps for Vlasse's previous compositions. The album offers a bit of an insight into what a U.S. West Coast audience might think of when the term "classical music" is used, and it's appealing on its own terms.
