5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, 7 Nov 2002
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I was recently shocked to read an article on the Kronos quartet that described their work as "beautifully recorded trivia". Some of the composers here are (certainly to my fairly ignorant mind) less than household names (well, would you expect "Benshoof" or "Gubaidulina" to come up often as answers in pub quizzes?) However, you'd have to be pretty darn heavyweight yourself to describe Arvo Part, Schnittke Lutoslawski and Gorecki as "trivial".

So, a tremendous introduction to the work of the Kronos quartet, and a brilliant sampler of 20th century music. Buy it if those nice Amazonian folks can rustle up a copy.
