This 5-Naxos CD collection is an essential tool for all listeners and musicians who wish to further their understanding of Peter Maxwell-Davies’ string quartets.

Performed by the Maggini Quartet, an ensemble formed in 1988 and whose chamber music recordings of Vaughan Williams, Bridge, Britten, Bax, Elgar, Tippett and Robert Simpson have won them unanimous critical praise, these 10 “Naxos” String Quartets stretch the fabric of the post-twentieth century string quartet to its technical limits.

This is without a doubt an important contribution to British contemporary music: having commissioned these important works, Naxos also provides definitive, composer-supervised authoritative recordings of these emerging masterpieces......most highly recommended.
