Comment:

By now everybody at the table is eyeing their empty plates with a satisfied smile. It’s time for a little espresso and maybe a spoonful or two of sorbet, and it’s the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons with some contemporary classical tracks. Like everything else he touches, jazzman Pat Metheny adds a celestial shimmer to minimalist master Steve Reich’s “Electric Counterpoint.” There’s a hint of minimalism married to old-world romanticism in the Kronos Quartet’s reading of modern Argentinean composer Osvaldo Golijov’s slow-burning “Tenebrae.” And when marimba wizard Robert van Sice tackles the “Moby Dick” movement of Takemitsu’s “Toward the Sea,” you and your guests will be carried away on a wave of oceanic bliss.
