The string quartet has been an important medium for Sir James MacMillan since his formative years. From the autobiographical to the abstract, each of his-to date-three numbered examples is a major addition to the repertoire.
"Excellent throughout, the Royal Quartet impart a brittle edge to the sound that brings MacMillan's quartets closer to mid-century European modernists such as Lutosławski and Penderecki. But there are moments of intense, lyric beauty here too." Gramophone
