About

Gian Francesco Malipiero’s eight string quartets stand comparison with those of Bartók or Shostakovich. This highly original music matches individuality with aesthetical awareness.

The Orpheus String Quartet has become one of the few advocates of Malipiero’s music. They have researched and studied the material at great length.  The eight quartets were written over a period of 44 years but show a remarkable unity in style. The composer was a great admirer of Debussy’s, but this did not permeate into his (string quartet) music. This witty and charming music with great melodic qualities makes excellent listening.

Any string quartet music lover will embrace this music immediately. The Orpheus Quartet proves its point quite convincingly. This recording is recommended by the Penguin CD Guide.
