[Damon Smith]

I think most of his recent work is for larger ensembles and opera. Of  
all the pieces I have recordings of  Gran torso is the piece I have  
liked best.
The 'cellist's over dramatic gestures and heavy breathing made it  
REALLY tough to enjoy  “Allegro Sostenuto” and you can't help  
wondering how accurate a performance of such complex music can be  
with all that extraneous stuff happening.

I also agree with what Matt's comment 100%.
