„Parlour Games“ will be JSQ’s first professional album release, and first collaboration with Rattle. We believe that the calibre of the contributions to this project ensures that the album will attract attention from serious music–lovers.

The album has great significance for its contributors by advancing their artistry and serving their professional development, and we are greatly encouraged that it will have a welcome home among Rattle’s steadily growing catalogue of fine music.

The primary purpose of this project is to produce an album that will be exceptional on many levels: composition; performance; career advancement; cultural value; recording and production; audience development; and to present great NZ music to appreciative audiences here and abroad.

Rattle’s reputation as a publisher of work by serious composers and performers speaks for itself. The number of award winning and highly acclaimed albums within its catalogue testifies to the label’s instinct for identifying and supporting quality New Zealand music, and for placing artistic considerations above commercial ones.

As a chamber music ensemble committed to performing for many years to come in New Zealand (and beyond), we look forward to developing a long term relationship with Rattle, confident that this, our debut release with them, will set the template for many productive, highly creative, and successful projects to come.

William Han­fling, violin
