About

Sometimes out of time, sometimes disorientating and hectic, Marc Mellits’ music skillfully mixes sleek and diaphanous textures with wild sections. In the wake of the American minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, the energy of his works reminds us of rock music. Indeed, his three string quartets take us on board in an adventurous sonic journey: Tapas, Prometheus and Waníyetu are finally recorded together in a world premiere on Evidence Classics thanks to the Debussy Quartet, faithful consort of Marc Mellits.

“rich-toned and forceful … the playing is beautiful … an unsettling performance, and that is a compliment.” - The Strad, 26th August 2014 (EVCD001)

“The Debussy Quartet plays assuredly and expressively throughout, with moments of fizzing energy.” - BBC Music Magazine, December 2016 **** (EVCD018)

“they sound fully at home with the idiom. If their consensus involves a degree of compromise, there is still no doubting the distinction of much of the playing.” - Gramophone Magazine, November 2016 (EVCD018)
