Jonathan Leshnoff: Chamber Music Leshnoff: String Quartet No. 2 ‘Edelman’ Carpe Diem String Quartet Seven Glances at a Mirage Stephen Miahky (violin), Jerome Simas (clarinet) & Joshua Nemith (piano) Cosmic Variations on a Haunted Theme Opus 3 Trio …without a chance Barry Dove (vibraphone), Svet Stoyanov (marimba) & Dave DePeters (percussion)

Jonathan Leshnoff is one of the most exciting voices in contemporary American music, and his lyricism is accompanied by vibrant expressive qualities. The String Quartet No. 2 reflects the personal qualities of those who commissioned it with originality and vitality, Leshnoff embracing both mystery and klezmer inspired writing. Seven Glances at a Mirage creates shifting perspectives and contrasted sonorities, whilst Cosmic Variations on a Haunted Theme alternates between hints of Bachian chorales and Bartók inspired drama. …without a chance is a response to 9/11, where abrupt rhythms are movingly resolved. “Leshnoff is excitingly ‘the real deal’.’’ (Fanfare on 8559398)
