Fine Arts QuartetAbout
Finally completed in 1995, Ralph Evans’s First String Quartet is written in a non-derivative style, with tuneful melodies, lively counterpoint and piquant harmonies. Philip Glass has completed five mature quartets, his Second Quartet deriving from a theatrical presentation of Samuel Beckett’s prose poem Company.
The self-styled ‘bad boy of classical music’, George Antheil wrote three string quartets, the third of which is permeated by a folk-music ambience. Best remembered for his film scores, Bernard Herrmann had not released a concert work for 25 years when he wrote Echoes. Its title applies to the thematic connections unobtrusively linking the ten sections of this one-movement piece.
Fine Arts Quartet:
- Ralph Evans (violin)
- Efim Boico (violin)
- Yuri Gandelsman (viola)
- Wolfgang Laufer (cello)
