Selected Press Reviews

“Donald Bousted's cycle of microtonal pieces for recorders is dedicated to the proposition that this humble woodwind is destined to become, in the composer's own words, "a major protagonist in the music of the 21st Century". ... Bousted has created a series of tiny masterpieces. It would be reassuring to think that some small portion of the next millennium had been set aside for them. Wonders on so modest a scale tend to be in short supply these days.”

"Alone and Three Miniatures ... are beautifully wrought, tailored exquisitely to their essential decorative purpose."

"Bousted is a major new arrival in British microtonal composition … his music has great elegance, wit and substance."

The British Harry Partch Society

“I was bowled over ... the music is at once thrilling and impassioned ... an immensely exciting organ work ... all in all a stunning example of contemporary writing, well suited to the organ, and worthy of making frequent appearances at recitals.”

A Woldgate Requiem The Organ
