Their self-titled debut CD came out in late 2007 (on Mnemoic Records), but found its way into my lap in 2008. And wouldn’t you know, the album was a surprisingly enjoyable ...

Then along came Bartók, the subtlest student of folk idioms, and his post-war successors, Ligeti and Kurtág. Something gaudy, ersatz and ...
