'Antares, an ensemble founded to perform Messaien's Quartet for the End of Time, releases this recording of two major works written for one of the group's predecessors, the Tashi Quartet, by two of America's most influential composers, Peter Lieberson and Roger Reynolds. Both works represent a degree of experimentation for each composer, with Lieberson adopting a Stravinsky-inspired approach to twelve tone harmony, and Reynolds using Gabriel Garcia Marquez prose as a new model for structuring the syntax of phrasing and how the instruments in the ensemble interact.'
