Description

R. Murray Schafer’s seven string quartets are considered as ranking among his most important works, by virtue of their extraordinary innovations as well as their purely musical qualities, which are of great intensity and great beauty.Considered by Canadian critics as an “essential” and “prodigious” ensemble, even as “the Canadian equivalent of the Kronos or Arditti Quartets,” the Molinari Quartet stands out as one of the best string quartets in Canada. Winner of the Quebec Opus Prize for Discovery of the Year 1997-1998.
