“The Pieces That Fall to Earth benefits from three things in particular: refined writing by Brooklyn-based composer Christopher Cerrone, who demonstrates in the recording's three vocal cycles a mature command of the idiom; superb playing by the Los Angeles-based ensemble Wild Up; and stirring vocal performances by Lindsay Kesselman, Theo Bleckmann, and an eight-member choir. The combination of all three makes for an exceptionally rewarding outcome, especially when the singers' voices communicate with heightened levels of emotional intensity.”
