The three tracks on this album are all world premiere recordings. +Composer William Blank (b. 1957) composed his first piece, Hesse-Lieder, in 1978 for the inauguration of the Studio Ernest Ansermet of the Radio Suisse Romande. Since then, his works have been performed across Europe and the US. Swiss ensemble Quatuor Sine Nomine String Quartet performs these works. They are joined by soprano Barbara Zanichelli for the final number.
