”Henri Lazarof’s 1976 Volo, tre Canti di Requiem is a fascinating work for solo viola and two string octets. Alternations between a desolate solo line and intensely dissonant waves of sound build almost inexorably toward the last movement, a transcendent, excruciatingly painful elegy. 

Paul Silverthorne, was the perfect embodiment of the work’s narrative voice, delivering the solo with a combination of elegance and spiritual incandescence.”
