CD Reviews
Gramophone, Dec 2018: “The performances throughout are excellent and involving”
BBC Music Magazine, Dec 2018: Performance: 4-stars
The Strad, 2016: “this glowingly engineered album, all premiere recordings performed with devoted insight and sensitivity by the Marsyas Trio”
Tempo, June/July 2019: ‘Concerto for Piccolo’ starts out somewhat reminiscent of early Rihm, but then transitions into a mysterious and evocative Jolivet-type territory. It’s [Weir Several Concertos] a fundamentally and appealingly odd set of pieces, made all the more engaging through the electrifyingly delicate performances here.”
