'Each Lotus is related to all others but individual.  The flutes shadowed by strings, traces the first outline, a microtonally inflected melody starting and ending on B.  The music moves from contemplation to joyful, delicate dance.  Harvey’s command of mystic sonorities (piccolo and bass flute used to eloquent effect) and poised rhythms holds the listener rapt.'
