The Rasumovsky Quartet’s most recently released recording, commissioned by the Alwyn Society, of the first three string quartets by Northampton composer William Alwyn (and his atmospheric sketches “Three Winter Poems”) continues to attract favourable attention. Alwyn was famous for hundreds of film scores including the score to ‘The Odd Man Out’ nevertheless he wrote several string quartets which beautifully represent his unique style and craftsmanship. Send us a quick note if you would like to purchase a copy of this CD – or are interested in adding this unusual and engaging repertoire to your Festival or concert promotion.
‘All the works on this recording are very satisfying. The playing, like the music, is exquisite.’
