about

This collection of two string quartets is the debut album by composer Roman Benedict, combining one of his early works with a new, as yet unheard exploration of the string quartet form.
Eventide is a reflection for string quartet and electronics. The piece is in three movements, final of which is a set of variations on the theme using a recorded and digitally manipulated quartet playing alongside the live one, as if reflected in a distorting mirror. It is a work full of atmosphere and contrasting textures, and ranges from meditative and quiet to expressive and complex.
This recording of Four revisits the work for a quartet of violas, having won a number of prizes since its composition in 2009, and has been played in Australia and New Zealand. This new recording is performed by current and former viola members of the Sydney Symphony Fellowship, as well as their Artistic Director.


Produced by Roman Benedict, with thanks to Roger Benedict and Caitlin Benedict. Recorded at Studio C by Peter Bell.
