“The four members of the Piatti Quartet, who have worked with Phibbs over many years, are kindred spirits, and their playing reflects this. The composer seems, in these works, to be on a quest for a sancta sanctorum. Agreeably closely recorded, the music is never overly complex, nor is it discordantly avant-garde.

If you like the music of Valentin Silvestrov, Arvo Pärt or Marjan Mozetich, be reassured: you are on a related pilgrimage with these works”
