"What I love about Devolution, the album and its title piece, is that where De Ritis could be dealing in straight-up gimmicks—Beethoven's Seventh and Ravel's Bolero meeting on a sort of musical battleground as the orchestra plays something else entirely—it's actually an illuminating look at these two disparate works within the context of a new work.
