Oliver Knussen on Ruth Crawford Seeger:
Ruth Crawford Seeger's music grows in stature the more one gets to know
it. At first it is the astonishing prescience of her musical ideas that
commands attention-virtually every movement of every piece embodies
an utterly original conception; often anticipating comparable discoveries
elsewhere by decades. (excerpt from liner notes)
