For this album of music by Elliott Carter, cellist Johannes Martens has assembled some of Norway’s foremost young musicians. Tracing Carter’s development through some of his most creative period, these works span over 50 years of composition, from the beautiful Elegy and the celebrated Cello Sonata through to newer pieces for solo instruments, duo, trio and string quartet, they show the mark of a supremely experienced craftsman.

“Even had there been more new releases in Elliott Carter's centenary year, this disc from the Johannes Martens Ensemble would rank among the finest.”
