Gustav Holst

 Quintet in a minor for piano, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, Op. 3, H.11 (1896)

"SooJin Anjou and the Ensemble Arabesques deliver first-class performances. The ensemble cannot be faulted, and they bring to this music intelligence and profound musicianship. They certainly make persuasive advocates of these alluring scores." -Stephen Greenbank, MusicWeb International

"The fine control demonstrated by pianist SooJin Anjou is wholly attuned to the spirit of the score." -Michael Cookson, MusicWeb International

Gletschermusik        ("Glacier music")

The piano in dialogue with the sounds of Central Asia’s melting glaciers

"Subtly, and intelligently, the project reminds us that water, and the planet, is mutable. Gletschermusik (literally, ‘glacier music’) takes the sounds and images of the melting glaciers as its inspiration, but ventures out in various different directions. Gletschermusik is remarkable for its delicacy, its easy musicality. It’s rare and also extremely welcome to find a work which is conceptually heavy but handled with such lightness."
