A combination of grit and polish

Gramophone, Pwyll ap Siôn

Three string quartets by three composers performed by three different groups. In this sense, ‘Bracing Change 2’ is no different to the first instalment… However, in keeping with the spirit of the project and its title, we are presented again with three works that in very different ways offer alternative creative solutions to the challenge of writing contemporary quartet music.

“In many ways, the highlight of the disc is Helen Grime’s String Quartet No 2. A powerful, compelling and absorbing work played with a combination of grit and polish by the Heath Quartet…”

… Powerful stuff.
