It is musical thinking of the highest order and quartet writing in the great tradition of Beethoven, Bartok, Britten, and Tippett’. This third CD in the series presents the first three works in the cycle – the Second influenced by The Who and Velvet Underground – together with an early contrapuntal study and the first of Matthews’ arrangements for string quartet.
