Review of Taken: How Will They Be Remembered? by Charles Moster
With 911 coming up I want to thank PRX for featuring "Taken" in its collection. It is a most unique heartfelt work which looks at this tragedy from the personal perspective of people who were there. With so many pieces looking at this horror from a "huge building" perspective, "Taken" offers an immediate emotional connection that took me back to how I felt on that day. Also the use of music is much better suited for touching someone emotionally, where other productions cannot. I thought it was a tremendous work and hope more people get to experience it as 911 rolls around."
Thank you for playing it.
