The French magazine "Jazzman" placed Barry Guy's first release of the New Orchestra among its records of the year ("a scalpel from the first second") and the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" called his composition "a masterpiece looking toward the future." Nine years after the successful debut album Inscape-Tableaux, and five years after the second recording Oort-Entropy Barry Guy and his New Orchestra present their third release with two compositions of Barry Guy: Amphi and Radio Rondo.
Barry Guy writes: «As always I try to structure the composition to place all the players in a creative dialogue with each other, carefully grading the tensions and releases in the music to take the listener on – Amphi may be termed as "chamber music" whilst Radio Rondo looks towards a more orchestral landscape. In some ways, the listener must also adjust their expectations since the expansiveness of the concert grand piano resonating within an obvious "big picture" as in Radio Rondo, differs markedly from the (no less resonant) more internalized musical gestures of the baroque violin in Amphi. Importantly, the musicians in the BGNO deliver improvisations of nuanced sensibility in response to two quite different compositional strategies.»

Neun Jahre nach dem erfolgreichen Debut-Album "Inscape-Tableaux" liegt das Barry Guy New Orchestra eine dritte Veröffentlichung mit zwei Kompositionen von Barry Guy vor: Amphi und Radio Rondo. Die erste CD wurde auf Anhieb ein Erfolg. Das französische Magazin «Jazzman» reihte sie unter die Platten des Jahres und die «Neue Zürcher Zeitung» nannte die Veröffentlichung ein «zukunftsweisendes Meisterwerk».
Sowohl «Amphi» als auch «Radio Rondo» stellen Solo-instrumente ins Zentrum des musikalischen Geschehens. Agustí Fernández am Piano und Maya Homburger an der Baroque Violine. Barry Guy schreibt: «Wie immer versuche ich in der Struktur der Komposition alle Musiker in einen kreativen Dialog miteinander zu bringen, dabei die Spannung und Auflösung in der Musik sorgsam überlegt abzustufen und den Hörer/die Hörerin so auf eine ereignisreiche Reise mitzunehmen.»
