As to the chamber pieces, Insight draws its string trio into less a three-way dialogue than a span of subtly differentiated timbres, while Such Different Paths adopts a more intricate format whereby the string septet is divided into various sub-groups that finally coalesce into an ethereal postlude. With its scoring for violin, double bass and accordion, Frozen River Flows evinces a more detached manner in its plaintive lilting melancholy. The performances are as formidably assured as the roster of musicians would suggest, while ECM’s spaciously atmospheric sound suits the music-making ideally. If not revelatory, Tabakova’s is still a thoughtful and approachable new voice which ought to secure an enthusiastic following.
