REVIEWS
Kevin Siegfried’s “Tracing a Wheel on Water” was commissioned by Larget-Caplan in 2003 and has had spectacular and deserved success since then. It has been performed in over 50 concerts and is the title of one of Larget-Caplan’s CDs. It’s a hypnotic work, what the composer says “is a meditation on my experiences of the water’s surface… a manner in which flowing circles on the water’s surface envelop one another in a rhythm that is always new, yet never changing.” This hypnotic and beautifully written work was, for me, the highlight of a really interesting concert.
— Susan Miron, The Boston Musical Intelligencer, January, 2011

… grafts the rigor of classical music to the warmth of pastoral folk music.
— Scott McLennan, Worcester Telegram, May, 2006
