Ice Reflection, the third quartet in the sequence, is a study of light. This here emerges from the swift but quiet flute-like sonorities created by the cello. Deep within the quasi-spectral detail in this work it’s possible to detect fleeting, unexpected moments of lyricism: it might be useful to quote the notes:
“ That’s how the fabric changes its substance, transforming its flashes of colour, weight, brightness and perspective. Arpeggios, tremolos, circular bows, glissandi, sul ponticello and randomness place us against freer, multiple and edgy refractions as Ice Reflections advances, spreading the sparkles in new directions. While this introduction is occasionally a little complicated it certainly avoids falling into a mire of pretentiousness" (Paco Yáñez)
