Besser String Quartets

Since emigrating to New Zealand in the late 1970s, New York-born Jonathan Besser has been an active presence on the New Zealand music scene as both a pianist and composer. For this album, we have collected together his complete string quartets, beautifully played by one of New Zealand's most hard-working and acclaimed string quartets.
