This disc pairing Bridge's String Quartet No. 1 and No. 3 shows him at his most deeply and passionately musical: ...

Ireland: String Quartets; The Holy Boy

performed by
Maggini Quartet
composed by
John Ireland
One of the best things to happen to English string quartet recordings in the early years of the twenty first century was the signing of the Maggini Quartet to Naxos. In short order, the group put out superlative recordings of the quartets of Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge, and Benjamin Britten, and followed them with this 2006 recording of the two ...

(2007)
more music like this
performed by
Maggini Quartet
composed by
Malcolm Arnold
Long eclipsed by his film scores, concertos, and symphonies, the two string quartets of Malcolm Arnold are gradually finding their proper place in the repertoire, and the growing number of recordings made since the 1990s bodes well for their popular acceptance. Even though these quartets are abstractly modernist in conception and content, falling ...

(2007)
more music like this
performed by
Maggini Quartet
composed by
Peter Maxwell Davies
By commissioning 10 string quartets to be released on five discs, record label Naxos gave Peter Maxwell Davies a remarkably broad canvass on which to experiment and play. The freedom that such a project offered allowed the composer to stretch beyond the standard conventions of the string quartet literature and make forays into uncharted, if not ...

The release of Peter Maxwell Davies' Naxos Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 is a truly auspicious occasion.

These well-liked British performances from 1993 and 1994 have a lot to recommend them, especially for listeners looking for a budget-priced version of Schubert's string quartet masterwork, the String Quartet No. 14 in D minor ("Death and the Maiden"), D. 810.

Alan Rawsthorne
When American classical music lovers think of twentieth century English music, what composers do they think of? Elgar? Certainly. Holst? Surely. Vaughan Williams? Probably. Britten? Possibly. Walton? Maybe. Arnold? Unlikely. Alwyn? Less likely. And Alan Rawsthorne? Highly unlikely. Why? Because Rawsthorne's music is rarely performed and recorded. ...

The ten Naxos String Quartets of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies were commissioned by the label as a series, to be performed and recorded by the Maginni Quartet and issued in five volumes. One might have supposed that Maxwell Davies would have resorted to using Classical quotations and parodies, since the practice of composing string quartets in sets ...

composed by
Arthur Bliss
There are now, as there have always been, very, very few recordings of the chamber music of Arthur Bliss. This is not for want of quality: Bliss was a supremely skilled composer whose works had a large international audience between the two world wars and whose chamber works are as brilliant and moving as the chamber works of Elgar, Walton, or ...

composed by
Arthur Bliss
Considering his String Quartet No. 2 (1950), Arthur Bliss once commented, "...it grew to be the most substantial chamber work that I had attempted." If by this Bliss meant that his musical material, developmental procedures, technical explorations, and form outstripped any of his previous chamber works, then the Quartet No. 2 clearly squares with ...

A Dutton disc with performances by the Rasumovsky Quartet preceded it in 2005. In the event, both discs bear excellent performances of Alwyn's superbly composed if heretofore nearly completely ...
