PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Although Philip Glass came late to the string quartet, his contribution to the genre has since become a significant one.

REZENSION
By performing these works with an intense and focused detachment,the Carduccis allow the music to speak for itself.They also get it right on the only work which demands a degree of emotional intensity-the early,proto-minimalist String Quartet No1-whch,in its use of epigrammatic atonal cycles,sounds like Webern fragments looped over and over again. --Gramophone,Sept 2010

The Carucci Quartet's performances are a marvel of sensitivity,and the recorded sound has a lovely soft glow. **** --Sunday Telegraph,03/07/2010

the Carducci String Quartet were stunning.they are clearly musicians of high intelligence.'' --The Times
