Zephyr Quartet: Belinda Gehlert & Emily Tulloch violins, Jason Thomas viola, Hilary Kleinig cello
This album presents two of Australian composer Stephen Whittington's stunningly beautiful string quartets: his elegant, eclectic 7-movement "...from a thatched hut" and his evocative, haunting "Windmill". Stephen Whittington (*1953) is a composer whose very personal music combines elements of minimalism, polystylism, and indigenous musics from many parts of the world. As a pianist, he began championing contemporary music in Adelaide in the 1970's, giving the first Australian performances of music by Morton Feldman, Terry Riley, Christian Wolff, Cornelius Cardew, Alan Hovhaness, George Crumb, and many other composers. Zephyr Quartet is a celebrated genre-defying Australian string quartet that, since 1999, has been expanding the boundaries of art music via diverse collaborations with artists from the worlds of theatre, dance, literature, visual art, environmental art, film, and media art.
"If Australia has produced a classic piece of musical minimalism, Windmill is it." —Graham Strahle, The Australian
