Product description

David Matthews presents his latest masterpiece, "Complete String Quartets, Vol. 6," a captivating collection of string quartets that showcases his exceptional compositional prowess. Released on July 5, 2024, under the esteemed Toccata Classics label, this album is a testament to Matthews' ability to blend classical traditions with contemporary sensibilities.

The album features three complete string quartets, Op. 75, Op. 161, and Op. 164, each offering a unique journey through a variety of moods and tempos. From the lively "Leggiero con moto" of the Op. 75 to the expressive "Lento con molto espressione" of the Op. 161, and the dynamic "Flamboyant" opening of the Op. 164, Matthews' compositions are both technically impressive and deeply engaging.

In addition to these quartets, the album includes an arrangement by David Matthews himself of Bach's Prelude & Fugue in B Minor, BWV 869, for string quartet. This addition highlights Matthews' versatility and his ability to reinterpret classical works with fresh insight.

With a total runtime of 1 hour and 6 minutes, this album is a substantial and rewarding listen. David Matthews' "Complete String Quartets, Vol. 6" is a must for fans of classical music and a delightful discovery for those new to the genre.
