• Completing their acclaimed survey of Tippett’s string quartets, the young British quartet which has taken his name as their own here presents the composer’s Third and Fifth String Quartets.
• Both are infused with Tippett’s abiding fascination with Beethoven; the former work brimming with passionate counterpoint that recalls Beethoven’s late string quartets and piano sonatas, the latter harking back to Tippett’s earlier preoccupation with dramatic sonata principles.
• By turns dazzling, dynamic and lyrical, these are pivotal works of 20th-century chamber music.
• Volume 1 is available on 8.570496.
“Tippett’s tribute is beautifully shaped by the eponymous quartet.” The Gramophone on vol. 1
