Reviews

BBC Music Magazine - Andrew Clements

Wolfgang Rihm's string quartets rank alongside Elliott Carter's five and Brian Ferneyhough's four as the most important contributions to the genre in our time. The Minguet takes the technical demands in their stride, yet project their emotional intensity.
