Cleveland Orchestra
“Based on Smetana’s “From My Life” Quartet, Sortomme’s readily approachable second gift
to Cleveland emerged as a gripping, vigorously colorful re-imagining of the original . . . the large
ensemble surrounded the soloists in a prismatic array of sounds, . . . Indeed, Sortomme
knows how to write for orchestra, and must be permitted to do so again.”
—The Plain Dealer
