I wouldn’t have envied any reviewer trying to capture what makes this lush beauty tick, but you managed to catch a good piece of the gossamer mysteries within. Nicely done—and thanks for the introduction to Linda Catlin Smith.

My previous comment pertained to Linda Catlin Smith’s “Nuages”. The other piece sounded phoned-in.

Interesting to consider LCS’s Nuages in light of her 1996 essay:

I attended this concert and found “Nuages” to slow my sense of time in a most satisfying way. Some years ago, I decided to try to regain that childhood activity of watching clouds and “seeing” shapes, objects and stories float by. Then I joined the (British) Cloud Appreciation Society and its light hearted distractions.
Catlin Smith’s work evoked that sense of giving oneself over to the wonder in the drift, joys, dramas and melancholies of her aptly titled work.
