Best Classical Album finalist, 2008 New Zealand Music Awards
For their first outing with Rattle, NZTrio follow their critically acclaimed debut Spark (2005) with an album that keeps one foot on the shores of Aotearoa while taking listeners on a journey out through the Pacific Rim. The thematic focus of Bright Tide Moving Between extends through a richly illustrated package to provide a sensual aural and visual experience, affirming that beauty is very much at home in contemporary classical music.
The music reflects a distillation of some very finely honed live performances and a deepening of artistic focus, qualities that deservedly led to the album being nominated as a finalist at the 2008 New Zealand music awards. This is an album of great subtlety and nuance. Beautifully played and recorded, it is one of Rattle’s finest achievements.
