Flowers of Emptiness, the string trio that gives the disc its title is also the earliest piece here, Das Rosen-Innere, for cello and piano, the most recent, completed earlier this year. The use of repetition, of single notes or phrases, is common to both, as it is to the three string quartets that provide the spine to this collection – As You Pass a Reflective Surface, from 1991, the chorale-like Waterlily of 2008, and the larger-scale, remarkable String Quartet No.
