“An original American voice”
—Lukas Foss
Concertino á cinque & Piano Quintet (2023)
“Each of David Post’s superbly written…three-movement quintets adds music of a richly imaginative nature to the repertoire.”
—Laurence Vittes, Gramophone, August 2023
“Post’s music is immediately attractive and finely wrought.”
–Colin Clarke, Fanfare Magazine, Nov/Dec 2021
“An elegant contribution to the body of contemporary chamber music…a composer of thoughtful eloquence with a lyrical voice that lingers in the memory long past the end of the performance…His Piano Sonata of 2015 shows a master craftsman at work. There is an inevitability to Post’s music, as though it has always existed but just needed to be written down. With an unmistakably open, American sound, it is nonetheless firmly rooted in classical tradition”
–Elisa Birdseye, The Boston Musical Intelligencer
“…shapely and brightly hued”
Jeremy Eichler, The Boston Globe, 10/7/15 reviewing the American premiere of “The Day of Light”
“Post’s elegant and eloquent music enters the listener’s consciousness with ease and leaves it with great difficulty…The sum of his musical manipulations is highly communicative, at times phantasmagoric, and vividly colorful, and provides lyrically inspired musical odysseys with unexpected, but always telling, bends in the road.”
Fanfare Magazine, Sept./Oct. 2011
“…a remarkable composer – not only inventive and technically capable but also a superb communicator.”
Music Web February 2011
(Post’s string quartets)…”are significant additions to the body of music for string quartet. Beautifully constructed, intellectually stimulating, and immediately approachable, this is contemporary music at its most engaging…The Third Quartet is a masterpiece of structural concision.”
