About

The Dominion Quartet continues its exploration of the string quartets of Alfred Hill, an Australian-born composer who studied in Europe and lived for much of his life in New Zealand.

The Fifth quartet pays tribute to France, America, Italy and Britain, nations that were allies during World War I.

In the Seventh quartet, hints of the music of Debussy, Ravel and Dvořák coexist within Hill’s own Late Romantic idiom.

The Ninth quartet, with its touches of Iberian colour, Impressionist passages and Czech harmonies, show Hill as a musical citizen of the world.

Leave it to Naxos to come up with some terrific chamber music by a composer most people in the Northern Hemisphere have never heard of… After you hear this release you'll probably have to agree that he was the most outstanding late romantic composer from down under.” - Classical Lost and Found on Vol.1

Dominion Quartet:
- Yury Gezentsvey, Rosemary Harris, David Pucher (violins)
- Donald Maurice (viola)
- David Chickering (cello)
