“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.”
