Reception
The Allmusic review by Stacia Proefrock awarded the album 4 stars and states that "This album shows that some of his best work can come when he is composing around a philosophical core instead of just playing with sound. If this is not one of his most complex classical pieces, it is at least one of his most beautiful in its embodiment of the spirit of the two honored artists".[2]
