Fusing French and Japanese influences, SE's new recording features works by Takemitsu and Debussy, two composers who share an instinctive feeling for instrumental colour and sensuous textures. SE combines the intimacy and unity of a string quartet with the force and power of an ensemble in this unique and beautiful recording.
.
'...the Debussy [was] a successful orchestral exercise that revealed the revolution around the corner...SE's playing was dazzling.' The Herald
'The restful sentimentality of Nostalghia - with melting solo violin melody - had a magical calm. The quirky jazziness of Music of Training and Rest pushed the musical temperature up a notch.' The Scotsman
