Smith Quartet

Smith Quartet

Programme:

  • Stephen Montague String Quartet No 1 In Memoriam
  • Gavin Bryars Sinking of the Titanic
  • Michael Gordon Potassium
  • Steve Reich Different Trains

Admired for its versatility and dynamism, the Smith Quartet is now widely regarded as one of the finest contemporary string ensembles in the world. Recent best-selling discs of the quartet music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass have achieved instant critical acclaim, prompting many reviewers to recommend them as the benchmark recordings of these works.

… beautifully clear, and played with a rather touching delicacy which brings out the subtle poetry of the ending.
