Madrigals, Books I-IV Texts by Federico García Lorca
[Barraque's Sequence] "was overshadowed by Crumb's astonishingly inventive settings of six short extracts from poems by Federico García Lorca ... The variety of tone color Crumb managed to get from his singer and two instrumentalists was so wide as to be almost beyond belief ... Crumb's idiom, plainly post-Webernian, actually sounded more impressionistic than serial. To me, it was certainly a wonderfully apt demonstration that there is no necessary conflict between advanced musical thought and immediacy of appeal." [of Madrigals I & II]
Irving Lowens, Washington Evening Star, 12 March 1966
