Review:
 

Philip Glass - Mishima Premiere Recording for quartet
Steve Reich - New York Counterpoint Premiere Recording for quartet
Terry Riley - Tread on the Trail Premiere Recording for quartet
Gavin Bryars - Alaric 1 or 11 Delta Quartet commission
Michael Nyman - Songs for Tony
This intriguing and thought-provoking collection includes their first commercial recording of the work written for them by Gavin Bryars. Three founders of the American minimalist movement are represented, the Glass and Riley being world premiere recordings in these versions. The disc is completed by a piece by Michael Nyman, now one of the most popular and well known composers in the world.

"The Delta Saxophone Quartet makes light of the extraordinary technical demands of this work and its forays into the extreme altissimo registers and control of multiphonics are most impressive"
BBC Music Magazine
