Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"An unprecedented collection of recordings charting the earliest years of one of the world's most innovative and exciting renaissance women - composer, singer, performer, film director, visual artist and auteur Meredith Monk. Hand selected by Meredith from her personal archives, this fascinating compilation ranges from her first solo vocal performances in the mid-'60s, to ground-breaking works from the '70s up through 1980. An essential portrait of a vocal pioneer at her virtuosic and exploratory best."-Tzadik
