Like the melodic fragments infinitely reflected in Mirror in the Mirror, an elegant web of influences exists between these composers and their inspiration.

Snider’s You Are Free was inspired by Arvo Pärt’s music. Joachim’s woodwind quintet Seen responds to a series of portraits by Whitfield Lovell.

Meanwhile, Medtner’s Piano Quintet — one of the composer’s last works — reflects back on his own life.
