Resonus is proud to present a programme of world premiere recordings of chamber music by the contemporary British composer Tom Armstrong.

Performed by an impressive line-up of musicians for whom the pieces were originally composed, this unique programme explores the processes of revision and re-working, from minor alterations to radical re-examinations of the same musical materials.

'The performances are committed, the standouts being Jacob Fichert’s of Dance Maze: Variations, Simon Desbruslais’s of Duos (accompanied by Fichert) and the Fidelio Trio’s Divertissements, but in truth they are all first-rate. [...] Excellent clear sound from Resonus'
