Ensemble TRAGICOMEDIA makes its harmonia mundi début


"The four members of Tragicomedia are all multi-handed, playing nine instruments between them. Their imagination is as wide-ranging; a strangely dense velvety texture as they extemporise figurations over a sequence of slow chords; uninhibited jollity in the up-and-down strumming of fast guitar chords - strongly recommended."
***** Five Stars BBC Music Magazine (August 2001)
