"This is not a review, as I have not yet heard the recordings. However, the "Product Description" above is in error. All but two of the works on this disc have been previously recorded: "Trittico per G.S." appeared on a Naive Montaigne disc (1996/2003) with Stefano Scodanibbio on contrabass; "Flurries," "In Nomine a 3," and "Incipits" appeared on an Ensemble Recherche CD in 2005. It's great to have new versions of these excellent pieces, especially as the other discs are getting harder to find; "Flurries," inspired by an A. R. Ammons poem, is a very strong piece.
As far as I can tell, this IS the first recording of "Coloratura" and "Allgebrah." The music of Brian Ferneyhough is one of the great treasures of the contemporary music scene; hopefully we will have a recording of the 5th string quartet soon. In the meantime, these recordings are welcome."
