'Latvian composer Vasks' combines experimental tonal language on the one hand and an ability to create interesting textures by more conventional means on the other. The result is two well-sustained works whose textures are rewardingly conveyed and tensions upheld by the brilliant and homogeneous playing of Trio Parnassus with Avri Levitan.'

"Written in 1985, the Episodi e canto perpetuo… grippingly charts, in Vasks's words, "a painful journey through misery, disappointment and suffering towards love…" Marvellously recorded by MDG, the Trio Parnassus give a highly persuasive account…" Gramophone Magazine, January 2009
