Review
The lively Ensemble Marsyas are joined by violinist Monica Huggett in the third of the set, full of literally breathless counterpoint, while at the end is a beguiling single slow movement that leaves us up in the air, as if I had finished this review with a question mark.2nd September 2012. --The Observer
it's the group's nuance that's transfixing. When textures become sparse, delivery intensifies; when the line expands, the tempo stretches; when counterpoint thickens, articulation is leavened. The players are audibly intelligent, at once humorous and illuminating. Non-interventionist engineering shows that less can be more when the artists are first-rate.November 2012. --BBC Music Magazine
There is highly capable playing, with expert tuning, smooth lines, and techniques apparently taxed only by the quickfire repeated notes in Sonata No. 6. The sound is also wonderfully clear and well balanced.Awards Issue 2012. --Gramophone

this was a surprise, I had not heard of this composer but as I collect chamber music I am always looking for
new composers & pieces that I am not familiar with. Some you win & some you lose, this is good but
needs to be heard a few times to get used to it.
