About

This, the third volume in the Toccata Classics cycle of complete string quartets of David Matthews (b. 1943), contains Matthews’ first three numbered quartets, written between 1969 and 1978, along with an early contrapuntal study and an arrangement of Scriabin. + The Second Quartet, as the composer says, ‘shows the influence of the kind of minimalism in songs by The Velvet Underground, and aims for the energy and dynamism of The Who’. + The Kreutzer Quartet have worked with David Matthews for many years now; many of his quartets were written with them in mind.
