The Piano Quartet by much-admired Latvian composer Peteris Vasks is one of his longest and most imposing chamber works. Unfolding with inexorable expressive force, it utilises dance-like motifs and folk-inflected themes throughout. The pieces by Lithuanian composer Arvydas Malcys form a cohesive sequence akin to a three-movement piano quartet in which specific sound effects, emotional power and colourful textures are in perfect alignment.

"... This is a fantastic album"
Nathan Faro - American Record Guide - July/August 2020
"This collection of piano quartets showcases a breadth of stylistic influences. A worthy intro to the works, which exploit the instruments possibilities to great effect." ***
