From the compulsive unfurling of the opening movement, the choppiness of the second, the curvaceous swell of the third and the upward cresting of the fourth, we experience in Lilburn's music for Allen Curnow's Landfall in Unknown Seas a life-affirming endeavour. The work touches both the heart and the mind and was a much-needed tonic for New Zealand wartime audiences.
