Britten: String Quartets 1-3....

Wonderful music, challenging and exciting. The more that I hear of Britten's music the more that I like it.

Hi Fergus,
Its a lovely contemplative and spiritual album from the Boston based Far Cry chamber orchestra with compositions from Hildegard Von Bingen (O ignis spiritus paracliti), Beethoven (Heiliger Dankgesang,” the song of thanksgiving from Beethoven’s Quartet Op. 132) and centred on "The Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind", a 1994 suite by the Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov.

Immaculate performance, well worth the listen.

There's a trailer at:
