Dutilleux's quartet alone, however, more than justifies the purchase of this record; and the Arditti Quartet, as always, is superb.

His music is marked by its microtonality, tension, and energy. His music is full of "romantic constraint", and he rejects the use of electronics, percussion other than timpani, and, up until the late 1990s, piano.

3rd Prize quartet 2001. The Athena Quartet of Berlin takes its name from Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of arts and sciences. Founded in Berlin in 1999, the ensemble studied with the Alban Berg Quartet and attended master classes headed by Ferenc Rádos, Gabor Takácz and the Arditti Quartet.

Henri Dutilleux represents the French modernist tradition, though he makes his own highly personal contributions. The lineup of the Arditti quartet here is Irvine Arditti (violin I), David Alberman (violin II), Garth Knox (viola) and Rohan de Saram (cello). Henri Dutilleux's "Ainsi la nuit" (1976) is a modern classic, and it's easy to see why. This is a work that parodoxically combines impressionist lushness and total transparency, surface attractiveness and deep mystery

Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013). Maurice Ravel (1875-1937). String Quartet in F Major (1903). Quatour V (2004–2005) Washington Premiere. Irvine Arditti, violin. The Arditti Quartet enjoys a world-wide reputation for their spirited and technically refined interpretations of contemporary and earlier 20th century music. Many hundreds of string quartets and other chamber works have been written for the ensemble since its foundation by first violinist Irvine Arditti in 1974. Many of these works have left a permanent mark on 20th century repertoire and have given the Arditti Quartet a firm place in music history.

Notes

It's an ironic characteristic of 20th-century music in general that Dutilleux, a modern master of orchestral music and large scale forms, might have produced his masterpiece with Ainsi la nuit, a string quartet of 17 minutes. Yet the intimate medium bears the weight of his succinct lyricism and dense passion, with the economy characteristic of a great composer of his maturity. Pascal Dusapin's two quartets, following his elder colleague's masterwork on this disc, don't fare quite as well: Dusapin is a gifted young French composer fascinated with the sounds of New York minimalism, but his sonorous writing, however pleasing, seem simplistic and overbearing when placed next to Dutilleux's music. Dutilleux's quartet alone, however, more than justifies the purchase of this record; and the Arditti Quartet, as always, is superb. --Joshua Cody
