James Primosch's "Carthage" is a captivating exploration of minimalism and chamber music, released on May 22, 2020, under the Navona label. This 53-minute album is a testament to Primosch's compositional prowess, blending intricate textures and profound emotional depth. The album opens with "Journey," setting the stage for the central work, "Mass for the Day of St. Thomas Didymus," a five-movement piece that weaves together sacred text and contemporary musical language. Each movement—from the contemplative "Kyrie" to the transcendent "Agnus Dei"—offers a unique meditation on faith and doubt. The album also includes other standout tracks like "Spiralling Ecstatically" and "Two Arms of the Harbor," showcasing Primosch's ability to create evocative and introspective musical landscapes. "Carthage" is a compelling listen for those who appreciate the intersection of minimalist aesthetics and deeply personal expression.
