Reise brings his signature rhythmic impulses to his 2004 quartet, the intricate Across the Horizons. Although many point to the instrumentation as a Messiaen quartet (Quatuor pour le fin du temps), let there be no further comparison. Reise, who was earlier introduced to Carnatic rhythms of South India music and who finds ways of incorporating them into his own, has taken us on a significant journey in three movements. As always, Reise's music attracts the finest performers - Across the Horizons has been recorded by Charles Abramovic (piano), Allison Herz (clarinet), Karen Bentley Pollick (violin), and Michal Schmidt (cello). For advanced performers.
