The local recordings that helped us through 2020
Pull Quote:
As the months dragged on and our state of isolation never truly lifted, the piece I came back to the most was Robert Honstein's “Soul House,” commissioned and recorded by Hub New Music (New Amsterdam). Honstein's piece is a portrait of the house in New Jersey where he grew up, sketched with deep beauty and just enough grit to make it seem honest. Most of us have spent this year confined to our homes, which has meant a particular, persistent kind of gloom — for me and, I suspect, many others. During those moments, “Soul House” was there to remind me that there can be magic even in an overfamiliar dwelling, if you make the effort to look for it. My year would have been a lot tougher without it.
