Klaus Huber's oeuvre reveals a musician, full of compassion for his fellow man, magnificently attested to by the interpretations that Alexis Descharmes gives us here. Descharmes met the composer 12 years ago, when the decision was made to record his complete works for cello. Booklet note by Brian Ferneyhough.
“Alexis Descharmes is not only a brilliant cellist; he is also someone who probes all the musical dimensions of a score in depth. I would go so far as to say that his interpretations reveal the full transcendence of my music.” Klaus Huber

“Few composers have investigated the cello's range and capabilities quite as exhaustively as Klaus Huber...Descharmes' mournful solo cello gradually acquires life as three further cellos join in, their lines weaving together with a timbral variety which in places recalls the piece's origins as a work for flute.”
