Buxton Orr: Chamber Music for Strings
Catalogue Number: TOCC0103
String Quartet No. 1, Refrains IV
Beethoven String Trio of London, string trio The music of Buxton Orr, born in Glasgow in 1924, was hardly over-exposed during his lifetime but has encountered even more neglect since his death in 1997. This CD takes a step in the right direction, presenting Orr’s mildly modernist, elegant and honest music in first recordings of four of his chamber works for strings. Liner Notes (PDF) |
