Dark Wood is a solo album by cellist David Darling recorded in July 1993 and released on ECM in 1995—Darling's third solo release for the label, following Journal October (1979) and Cello (1992).
Reception
The AllMusic review by Rick Anderson awarded the album 3 stars stating "However mannered the presentation may be, though, this music is really stunning. All of it moves slowly, like a dark cloud formation, as spare lines pile up on one other and pizzicato sections nudge up against long, sustained tones... Highly recommended."
