Belinda Gehlert (violin), Emily Tulloch (violin), Jason Thomas (viola) and Hilary Kleinig (cello) are collectively known as Zephyr Quartet. Those expecting to hear traditional (or even contemporary) classical music from this Australian string quartet will be in for a bit of a surprise when listening to their new album Epilogue. The immediate accessibility of their music almost instantly reveals a great depth, profundity and musical richness...

Each of the players of Zephyr Quartet stamp their own unique personality on Epilogue. The range on display here is pretty incredible and the performances are spellbindingly hypnotic. Here they perform their own compositions which range from heart breakingly emotional pieces like 'Time's Timeless' to toe tapping folk-esque 'Mulysa'...

This is an album that you'll love from the first time you play it, but each time you return you'll be rewarded by the depth and complexity of some of the pieces. This is a beautiful and deeply emotional recording which you'll receive years of pleasure from.
