Long out of print recording of the Balenescu Quartet playing the first three of Nyman's string quartets.
The Balanescu Quartet album "Maria T" is one of the most requested things I have ever posted, so hopefully this will find a place in the hearts of some of you.
Typically intricate and beautiful Nyman pieces here get wonderfully interpreted by Balanescu and his group. All three quartets are terrific, but my personal favourite is the third, which is based upon the choral piece, "Out Of The Ruins" which Nyman wrote to aid the rebuilding following the 1988 earthquake in Armenia. Life and death are duly celebrated and mourned.
Emotionally intense but ultimately uplifting.
