description
Had Alberto Ginastera not been born just three years after the scandalous premiere of The Rite of Spring, he could easily have been considered one of the earliest followers of the “pagan” Stravinsky. Although wild rhythms of ancient dances, volcanic eruptions of complex sound layers and martyrs of all kinds permeate his works, they are never random in form. His First String Quartet from 1948, for example, follows a traditional path, with some bows losing a bit of horsehair during performance – not unlike his Piano Quintet premiered in Venice in 1963, which explores the limits of what is possible in seven extremely concise sections that the composer described as “neo-expressionistic”. Maurice Ravel's unique String Quartet acts as an "impressionist" antipode and delicate counterpoint in this context.
