The Twenty-One Best Albums of the Decade So Far: 2010-2014

How To Dress Well – What Is This Heart? Where How To Dress Well’s predecessor Total Loss could feel like a coming together of inspired fragments, What Is This Heart? is more cohesive, despite being the most stylistically varied and sonically diverse work of Tom Krell’s musical career. From the acoustic guitar of album opener ‘2 Years On (Shame Dream)’, the bell chimes which spartanly introduce ‘What You Wanted’, and the industrial beats of ‘Face Again’, each song seems to inhabit a discrete realm of sound and to push towards a distinct genre; further on into the album, there is the steady orchestral surge of ‘Pour Cyril’, and the smooth R&B of ‘Precious Love’.

Mr. Persichetti was a wonderfully good-natured mentor; he had only the nicest things to say. In particular, his advice to me when playing the final hymn tune at the end of the parable was, “don’t make more of this than it is – it is just a simple Christmas hymn tune.” My new teacher John Krell helped prepare me to play for Mr. Persichetti. I remember so well that Mr. Krell was unfamiliar with the Parable when I brought it to him for lessons. Still, he played it brilliantly and had wonderful insights on performing the work.
