performed by Maggini Quartet

Who knows why Frank Bridge isn't better known. His music is distinctive, direct, bracing, beautiful, and written in every significant genre and idiom in the later part of the nineteenth and the earlier part of the twentieth centuries. 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

Ireland: String Quartets; The Holy Boy (2006) more music like this

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 ...

Sir Malcolm Arnold: String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2

Sir Malcolm Arnold: String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2 (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 ...

Peter Maxwell Davies: Naxos Quartets Nos. 7 and 8

Peter Maxwell Davies: Naxos Quartets Nos. 7 and 8 (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 ...

performed by Maggini Quartet
composed by Peter Maxwell Davies

The release of Peter Maxwell Davies' Naxos Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 is a truly auspicious occasion. Dubbed Master of the Queen's Music and having reached the personal milestone of age 70, Maxwell Davies is experiencing an enthusiastic resurgence of interest in his work that even he could not have imagined just five years prior. This was when the ...

Schubert: String Quartet No. 14; String Quartet in C "Quartettsatz"; 5 Minuets & Trios (2006) more music like this

performed by Maggini Quartet
composed by Franz Schubert

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. The "Death and the Maiden" quartet was recorded live at the Wigmore Hall concert space, ...

Rawsthorne: String Quartets

Rawsthorne: String Quartets (2006) more music like this

performed by Maggini Quartet
composed by 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. ...

Peter Maxwell Davies: Naxos Quartets Nos. 5 & 6 (2006) more music like this

performed by Maggini Quartet
composed by Peter Maxwell Davies

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 ...

Bliss: String Quartet No. 1

Bliss: String Quartet No. 1 (2002) more music like this

performed by Maggini Quartet, Michael Cox (flute), Nicholas Daniel (oboe)
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 ...

Arthur Bliss: Clarinet Quintet; String Quartet No. 2 (2004) more music like this

performed by David Campbell (clarinet), Maggini Quartet
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 ...

performed by Maggini Quartet
composed by William Alwyn

Amazingly enough, this superlative 2008 Naxos recording of William Alwyn's three string quartets by the Maggini Quartet is not the works' first recording. 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 ...
