Composer Andrew Anderson’s album starts loosely in the spirit of Yann Tiersen or a relaxed Chopin; Ian Munro (piano) revealing a humble and curious dance. When Erica Kennedy (violin), Helen Ireland (viola) and Zoe Knighton (cello) enter, the mix presents thinner strings compared to the luscious piano. But the work itself, Piano Quartet in C Minor, envelops within its first minute. Movement I explores an abundance of moods, from melancholy to a pirate-like gigue in some parts. The contrasting second movement incorporates chromaticism – a different tension to the inviting Movement I. In Movement III, there is something old fashioned – not period music, but nostalgic, sophisticated and pure. Movement IV ends with a satisfying darkness.
