George Perle: The String Quartets, Vol. 1 / Daedalus Quartet
This release is volume 1 in a series devoted to the string quartets of George Perle (1915 - 2009).
"The sound and surface of his music is marked by a relative simplicity which is actually the underpinning of a rich and complex language based on principles he has developed and which owe much to the thinking of Bartók, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Berg. He has eschewed serialism, however, and his compositional approach is one which differs fundamentally from most post–Schoenbergian practice." - Paul Lansky, Princeton University
