20/5/06: Reviews of Within Shadows of Light:
"...I preferred the premiere of Within Shadows of Light by young Australian composer Adrian Mansukhani. This work builds long, slow chords into layers of spatial texture, in a style similar to that of Georges Lentz..."
(Martin Ball, The Australian, 18/5/06)
"...This intensely musical piece was suprisingly full of mature ideas, including fine contrapuntal writing, considered thematic development and well-crafted form with some very fine orchestration, especially in the strings and winds. This was a personal favourite among the newer Australian compositions."
(Ronald McCoy, State of the Arts, 17/5/06)
"...a slight piece using a small orchestra economically, with a signature refrain to impose a shape on its impressionism." (Clive O'Connell, The Age, 15/5/06)
