Awards and reviews
March 2016
[Zebeljan] is justly celebrated for her music's intense originality and fiery emotional expression…the complex folk music traditions of [Romania, Serbia and Hungary] richly infuse Zebeljan's work across this fine collection of chamber works…[a] powerful recording.
January 2016
[Zebeljan's] works are packed with fiery energy and the tricksy dance rhythms of home…her music spins off impetuously, unpredictably, with an unshackled verve that this chamber collection taps into with exactly the right kind of abandon. At the heart of the album is the Brodsky Quartet, an ensemble for whom Zebeljan has orften written. It's easy to hear why: their lithe and dauntless attack is an ideal fit.
10th December 2015
Žebeljan spent much of her childhood in the region that gave us Bartók and Kurtág. That’s no surprise, considering the spiky beauty and joy in folk-dance that infuses her chamber music. Žebeljan’s mature writing for quartet is full of texture and restless detail, and the Brodsky Quartet have long championed it.
