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.
