Four Quartets - MFOM 93

Friday's MUSIC FROM OTHER MINDS program on KALW (11pm PT) will feature four one-movement quartets by Cristobal Halffter, Jorge Lederman, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Toshiro Mayuzumi.

I was hard pressed to come up with something interesting this week, and 50 minutes for music is a bit of a constraint. Not everything I want to play will fit.

But I found myself listening to some Arditti recordings on Disques Montaigne over the weekend and a program started taking shape.

What I like about these quartets is they could form the four movements of a single, over-arching, collective quartet. Not that the styles are that similar, but they do seem to fit together. Judge for yourself.

The program will be available for streaming all week after broadcast Friday night.

This will be the 93rd program I've produced in this series. Yikes! Getting close to one hundred.

Lets, see... program 100 will be on March 23. I should probably do something special....
