It's that time of the month again for the new releases show on New Sounds. Now that the dust has cleared from the move, John Schaefer carefully sorts through the stacks, and boatloads of new CDs which have actually reached his desk over the past month to present some of the finest new releases. What we can see from here includes the new release from Nico Muhly, "Mothertongue," an opera from John Adams, based on a south Indian fairy tale, "A Flowering Tree," and a beautiful collection of choral music by Tarik O'Regan. All this and much more.
