Ghost Stories

The Smith Quartet


 




"As versatile as the Kronos Quartet, and smoother than the Brodskys, The Smith Quartet have edged ahead of their competitors in contemporary chamber music"

 The Independent on Sunday

  " ... compelling blend of live ensemble and electronics"

Journal for Music in Ireland

 
       


Following on from the release of their critically acclaimed recording of Reich’s Different Trains on Signum, Britain’s leading contemporary string ensemble, The Smith Quartet, perform the works of five diverse British composers.

The music is inspired by the ancient English landscape, 9th century Irish poetry, 20th century human tragedy and the passing of friends.
