The Minguet Quartet continue their complete edition of Wolfgang Rihm’s string quartets with this third volume (Vols. 1 & 2 are on WWE 1CD 20211 & 20212), and as the series advances, so does the range and variety of Rihm’s highly individual treatment of the quartet medium. A notable work-in-progress.

Track Listing for String Quartets Vol. 3
String Quartets: No. 7 “Veränderungen” (1985); No. 8 (1987/8); No. 9 “Quartettsatz” (1992/3).

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.
