The staff at New York Public Radio, WNYC's Soundcheck has named Kronos Quartet's The Cusp of Magic a CD Pick of the Week this week.

Closer to the Quartet's home base on the West Coast, SF Weekly calls the album "a true gem." Critic Mark Keresman looks to the many sources of inspiration composer Terry Riley weaved together for The Cusp of Magic that make it "a wide-ranging work, alternately contemplative and celebratory, always rhythmic." Keresman concludes: "Without being New Age–drippy, The Cusp of Magic represents a glorious clash of cultures, focusing on commonalities rather than disparities."

After a performance Friday night in Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall, which includes the world premiere of label mate Fernando Otero's El Cerezo (The Cherry Tree), Kronos heads upstate to SUNY Purchase to perform Terry Riley's Sun Rings this Sunday.
