Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Arditti Quartet performs Francisco Guerrero's 'Zayin' for string quartet, a work built from the Spanish composer's fractal-based compositional methods. The Arditti, long Guerrero's reference interpreters, render its dense, dissonant string writing with the precision the score demands.
