Dillon and Ferenyhough are both one away (couldn't see it mentioned but thought both sets are worth a listen if anyone has time)
Actually, Dillon, Ferneyhough and the venerable Mr Carter are too late. It's the 21st century. They can put their fingers back in. |

Delius, Moeran, RVWilliams... all lovely - I have played all and find the Delius the tricky one, the others are quite accessible.

What's empirical about sound? You can't write an article about it in die Reihe, that's for sure.

Unless, of course, any of them (or anyone else still alive and likely to produce more quartets) actually composes at least six during the present century; Carter hasn't even written his sixth yet, but give him a few more years (maybe another 20+), he might oblige. Nothing about him would entirely surprise me... Best, Alistair |

A pedant writes: Dear Sir,
They would still not be strictly on-topic for a thread concerning 20th-century cycles of six or more string quartets.
Yours faithfully,

Sincerely,
Miss Darabukka Donnithorne Post one referred to sets, it is true. The first explicit mention of 'cycles' on this thread was by a Mr or Mrs Che Fingdisch whom you may perhaps know. best regards A N-P |

A linguistic historian comments:
The term 'quartet cycle' is thought now to be obsolete among the younger generation of composers and has been superseded by the term 'quad bike'.

Ah - I always understood that term to refer to young 'ladies' found frequenting enclosed grassy spaces in Oxbridge colleges....

Moisey Vaynberg/Mieczysław Weinberg wrote 17, and from what snippets I've heard several of them are terrific. (A new cycle is being recorded at the moment I believe.)
