Torquing Points
Melbourne String Quartet
An exciting juxtaposition of 20th century Australian and 19th century European musical styles. Gordon Kerry's 'Torquing Points for String Quartet' and Mark Pollard's 'The Quick or the Dead' are approachable and lyrical pieces that fit well with this CD's classical works.
Includes 'Nocturne' from 'String Quartet no. 2 in D ' (Borodin), 'String Quartet no.9' (Sculthorpe), 'Italian Serenade' (Hugo Wolf), 'Quartettsatz' from 'String Quartet movement in C minor, D.703' (Schubert) and 'Andante Cantabile' from 'String Quartet no. 1 in D major, op.11' (Tchaikovsky) Press quotes:
“More unexpected is the delicious, European-drawing-room sound that Move's engineers have given to this CD.”
— The Melburnian “I hardly need say that the Melbourne String Quartet plays these pieces superbly well.”— The Melburnian Audio preview:
