SAN FRANCISCO CLASSICAL VOICE: What Should I Wear With This Album?
BY TAMZIN ELLIOTT
“Composer and flutist Nathalie Joachim has delivered my favorite album of the summer with her Fanm d’Ayiti (Women of Haiti), released by New Amsterdam Records on Aug. 30. Within my first listen I knew I would be going back, for full vacations and just for short visits to sunny tracks like the tripartite “Suite Pou Dantan.” That’s what you would expect from any good album, to inspire consumption of both its whole and parts, but albums in contemporary new music rarely function for people the same way albums of other popular genres do.”
