About

Following my studies at the Tirana Conservatoire in 1982, I worked for three years as Music Director in a remote town in Southern Albania near the border with Greece. The first-hand experience I had from working with folk musicians and listening to ancient songs seems to have had a lasting effect on my creative conscience. There are no quotations from folk-music here or in any other work of mine, but resonances of that sound-world [...] are now subconsciously becoming part of my own music. These qualities are incorporated in the overall musical idiom and can be clearly heard in these works.” – Thomas Simaku

The Kreutzer Quartet received critical acclaim after their recording of Naxos 8.559091 and Naxos is proud to present them again in these String Quartets by Thomas Simaku.

Kreutzer Quartet:
- Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin 1)
- Mihailo Trandafilovski (violin 2)
- Morgan Goff (viola)
- Neil Heyde (cello)
