Part of Minimal Means

Kreutzer Quartet – Violins: Peter Sheppard Skærved and Mihailo Trandafilovksi, Viola: Morgan Goff, Cello: Neil Heyde

The Kreutzer Quartet has forged an enviable reputation as one of Europe's most dynamic and innovative string quartets. They are the dedicatees of numerous works, and over many years forged creative partnerships with composers including Sir Michael Tippett, David Matthews, Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir, and Haflidi Hallgrimsson. They have a particularly strong relationship to a cross-section of leading American composers, having collaborated intensively with the great George Rochberg in the last few years of his life, as well as working closely with Elliott Schwartz, and the prolific symphonist Gloria Coates.

As recording artists they have won critical acclaim for their discs on the Naxos, Metier, and Chandos labels.

Philip Glass – Company
Michael Rose – Standard (World Premier)
