About
The starting point for this release as an invitation Carpenter received from the Berlin Phil to perform a chamber music concert with some of their soloists. The quintet and Lament are live recordings from this concert in February 2013.
Carpenter appeared on the front cover of the Strad in August and a few months earlier was the subject of a three-page article in the New York Times.

Awards and reviews
January 2014
The autumnal mood transfers effectively to an all-string ensemble; the playing is both fluent and sensitively shaped...and Carpenter's blend of mellowness and deftness is colourfully applied to Robert Mann's occasionally Bartokian Dreamtime.
