Ben Johnston - String Quartets 6, 7 & 8 (New World)



Quartet No 7 (1984) is the culmination of Johnston’s microtonal explorations. Musicians looked at his palindromic score, with more than a thousand microscopically distinct pitches, and declared it unplayable – which by ordinary standards, it is. — Andy Hamilton
