Reviews
The performances of all three pieces are stunning, caught in first rate sound.
Nordic Sounds

These pieces certainly are well-deserved tributes to their dedication to contemporary music. They all repay repeated hearings and undoubtedly deserve to be better known, which this superb release makes now possible.

MusicWebInternational

... these works are far from academic - all the composers confess their desire to blend their experimental concepts with traditional form-and despite periodic aimlessness, there are harmonic underpinnings that push the music forward. This recording may inspire fans of classical, modernist, and even avant-garde rock music.
