Nature in Canadian String Quartets
Program:
R. Murray Schafer: String Quartet No.2 Waves (1976)
Quinsin Nachoff: String Quartet No.1 (2018)
R. Murray Schafer: String Quartet No.10 Winter Birds (2005)
Quatuor Molinari, one of Canada’s leading string quartets, performs Nachoff’s String Quartet No. 1 which features a strong sense of rhythmic vitality with subtle and tangential jazz influences permeating throughout the four-movement work. Also on the program, are two string quartets by R. Murray Schafer (1933-2021) one of Canada’s prominent composers.
“That any group could play this music better than the Montreal-based Quatuor Molinari is inconceivable.”
Philip Clark, Gramophone
