1990 release ** "Arditti", presents a typically challenging Arditti programme, beginning with Beethoven's Grosse Fuge (1826), which comes over well from their modernist standpoint. Conlon Nancarrow's String Quartet No. 3 (1987) comes next - Nancarrow had said that the Grosse Fuge was the only music he would want his quartet to follow, and they make an illuminating pairing. Ruth Crawford Seeger's magnificent String Quartet (1931) has had several fine recordings, and this one is one of the best - for me it is the highlight of the disc. Roger Reynolds' appropriately fragmentary Coconino... a shattered landscape (1985) and Iannis Xenakis' fierce and fearsome Tetras (1983) complete the programme.
