| | String quartet |
| | A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string musical instruments or a piece written to be performed by such a group. | | | Although any combination of four string instruments may be called a "string quartet", in practice, the term almost always refers to a group consisting of two violins (the "first" and "second" violin), one viola and one cello. | | | This combination of instruments is widely seen as one of the most important forms in chamber music, with most major composers writing string quartets. |

| | Portrait of the Arditti Quartet |
| | It is not for want of encouraging English composers to write music for the Arditti Quartet, so the problem is elsewhere. | | | Also, I'd heard the LaSalle Quartet and European quartets playing new music. | | | But we are still very different, in a way, because we are a more homogeneous group, a string quartet, and we have nobody outside directing us, nobody to take the responsibility of listening quickly to rehearsals and saying, 'This is right, this is wrong, this or that would sound better'. |

| | Moreover, the music played by the guitar quartet in this session was almost completely conventional in terms of instrumentation, timbre, pitch and harmony; all that distinguished it was its slowness of tempo and paucity of material. | | | The next set was by Tetuzi Akiyama (guitar), Boris Baltschun (sampler and electronics), Nicholas Bussmann (cello) and Tony Buck (drums), who seemed happiest when they fell into relatively conventional improvised crescendi underpinned by insistent patterned playing by Bussmann. | | | Despite my enthusiasm for Marsh's work I've heard only a portion of that discography; but it's safe to say that All Music, a quartet date recorded in 1976 for Nessa, represents one of its highpoints. |

| | Balanescu Quartet |
| | "Balanescu shows himself a composer who manipulates his cues so deftly that the joins become imperceptible," wrote Ikon, "while the Quartet's music is lyrical, fluid and subtle." The album 'Angels And Insects' was released in February 1996. | | | But I also realised this type of contemporary music is addressing itself to a very small circle of people, really. | | | Jason Pierce, SEM's mainman, had heard the Quartet on 'Possessed', and asked them to contribute to his album. |

| | Records International catalogue October 1998 |
| | If this music sounds a little old-fashioned for the 1930s, when listened to for its own merits it emerges as profoundly moving music that will never become dated. | | | The sonata is better-known, a Schumannian outpouring of vigorous music; new to CD is the 1882 set of variations on a melancholy folk song which is finely crafted and more individual than the other works here. | | | The Requiebros was a favorite of Casals and the solo cello suite still hangs on in today's recitals; the senior Cassadó's charming little suite was probably written for perfomance by his young son Thaddeus Brys (cello), Susan Brys (piano). |

| | He has composed prolifically for theater, dance and film as well as the concert hall, and has had his works performed by a wide range of artists including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Arditti Quartet, the Hilliard Ensemble, the Balanescu Quartet, Charlie Haden, Bill Frisell, and his own group, the Gavin Bryars Ensemble. | | | A leading experimental composer, his more recent music has been influenced by theories of literature, and is often repetitive and witty. |

| | Henri Dutilleux / Pascal Dusapin (Arditti Quartet Edition 16) : Reviews, Prices, Deals, Store |
| | These undefined narrative images of Dutilleux, Arditti simply keeps this realm at a distance allowing their formidable timbral clarity and virtuosity of extended means to speak as the works voice.Otherwise the dnager with Dutilleux music is that it can transgress into the commonplace lyricism. | | | Popular Music : Henri Dutilleux / Pascal Dusapin (Arditti Quartet Edition 16) | | | This is Dutilleux's only quartet from 1976 and is representative of his late period deeply felt in his orchestral canvas "Timbre, Espace et Mouvement", and the Violin and Cello Concertos. |
