“Though he was a student of Ligeti and teacher to a whole roster of compelling musical minds, Bresnick’s own work has flown largely under the radar. This release provides a neat catch-up package, dangled on the hook of the composer’s 60th birthday. In a raw, tearing performance by the Flux String Quartet, Bresnick’s String Quartet No. 2,“Bucephalus,” exemplifies the power formal craftsmanship can have to ensnare the ear and make a visceral emotional connection. That impression is echoed, if more abstractly, in the Jupiter Trio’s reading of his Trio for piano, violin and cello, particularly in the relentless chords of the final movement. Taken together, these provide a satisfying if exhausting listening experience, one that raises the question of why Bresnick has not garnered greater attention.” Time Out New York
