Essentials: The Ebene Quartet ‘Fiction’ Album Review

The Ebene Quartet proves decisively that they can let loose and with ‘ Fiction’ they created an irresistibly seductive listening experience.

What distinguished Melody Gardot’s ‘Currency of Man’ from her earlier outings is the beauty and power of the arrangements.

Roy Orbison’s ‘Mystery Girl’ stands the test of time from beginning to end: the songs are all about heartbreak, desire and dreams.

A fresh and appealing voice in contemporary pop, Paitra combines distinctive melodies with a vintage feel.

Alt-rocker, alt-country, alt-folk, genre-defying John Borra’s latest release is a poetic barn-burner.

The three works on the album for string quartet performance provide an exciting survey of Montréal’s young generation of composers.
