Chosen as one of the New Yorker’s Notable Recordings of 2020
“[ …] superbly ear-scouring […]” -Alex Ross, The Rest Is Noise
“[…]intimately varied, by no means monolithic, and each of these passages of enormous presence has its own constantly changing character, for McCormack remembers this, that music, unlike features of the landscape, is in motion.” -Paul Griffiths, “Record of the Week”
“En todo caso lo escuchado aquí […] tiene no poco de revelación; podemos estar delante de uno de los compositores más ambiciosos, valientes y quebrantadores de inercias de su generación.” -Ismael G. Cabral, El Compositor Habla
