Time, the Trio is joined by the accomplished French clarinetist Pascal Moraguès.

Created in exceptionally difficult conditions while he was held as a German prisoner of war, the Quartet sums up the composer's innovations in harmony and rhythm.

The Trio Wanderer, with clarinettist Pascal Moraguès, strikes a near-ideal balance between modern 'cool' and espressivo inflection, well matched by crystal-clear engineering.

19th July 2008

The spiritual dimension [in Quatuor Pour le Fin du Temps] is well projected, especially in the long string lines of the two "Louange" movements, but there could be more freedom and risk-taking in the more energetic music.
Clarinettist Pascal Moraguès's tone is rather rough, though the player shows impressive control in the solo "Abîme des oiseaux". Violinist Jean-Marc Phillips-Varjabédian and pianist Vincent Coq make a convincing case for the early Theme and Variations.
