The players razzle and dazzle us, caught with the same presence and sheer wallop that the album's engineer Steve Garden meted out to John Psathas' music on earlier CDs. Rattle's evocative recording realises the piece's inner beauties. Pizzicato notes have a liquid gleam to them, the piano lulls in its ripplings. NZTrio's 2005 album 'Spark' showed us how well New Zealand composers could write for this medium, now their voices have been placed in a world and Pacific context.
