Debussy’s early quartet already reaches into the
future with its sensual colour and improvisatory
tone. The fourth of Hugh Wood’s five works in
the form is a masterly four-movement piece:
music of passion and closely wrought integrity, it
was recently selected for Encore – a scheme run
by the Royal Philharmonic Society and BBC
Radio 3 designed to give repeat performances
and broadcasts of works by living British
composers. The Escher Quartet is a current
member of BBC Radio 3’s New Generation
Artists scheme.
