Violist Helen Callus recently performed and recorded my piece Lament Amid Silence. She had this to say about the work:
The profoundly expressive work by composer Joel Feigin “Lament Amid Silence” is one of the most beautiful and dramatic pieces in the literature for the viola. The wonderful addition of the 6 viola ensemble to accompany the solo violist makes this a unique and much needed addition to our under represented literature. I believe that any important work such as this deserves the attention of all viola lovers alike and I know will share with us the rewards of working and hearing such an inspiring piece.
—Helen Callus
Her recording of the piece, made with her students at UC Santa Barbara, is available from MSR Classics and on the recordings page of this site.
