Artists
Kreutzer QuartetAbout
They are the dedicatees of numerous works and over many years forged creative partnerships with composers including Sir Michael Tippett, David Matthews, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir and Haflidi Hallgrimsson. They have a particularly strong relationship with a cross-section of leading American composers, having collaborated intensively with the great George Rochberg in the last few years of his life, as well as working closely with such figures as Elliott Schwartz and the prolific symphonist Gloria Coates.
As recording artists they have won critical acclaim for their discs on the Naxos, Metier, and Chandos labels. Their work in collaboration with art galleries has garnered much attention and large audiences, particularly their annual residency at the Tate Gallery, St Ives.
The performers on this CD are Peter Sheppard Skærved (violin), Gordon MacKay (violin), Bridget Carey (viola), and Neil Heyde (cello).
There are no other recordings of the Casken and Saxton pieces. The composers were present at these recordings, so it can be assumed they are precisely what the composers actually envisaged when writing the works.
