The composer Jürg Frey, one of the most distinct voices in contemporary music (...) Frey has created a body of music that is as daring as it is beautiful. Spare to the point of vanishing, his works suspend fragile harmonies above stretches of percussive rustling and spells of silence. Frey has long been a cult figure in new-music circles, but he has been receiving more attention of late.
