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.

i thought that karajan's 1972 recording featuring freni, ludwig, cossutta and ghiaurov as the soloists was the definitive version. however, i've lately been listening to his 1985 digital recording featuring tomowa-sintow, baltsa, carreras and van dam, and it's really a very fine recording. all the soloists are absolutely wonderful - carerras surprisingly so, considering. listen to the final octave rise to high-C by tomowa-sintow in the "libera me" (from 12'09"-12'38") - she's clearly at the height of her powers. karajan - as he did in 1972 - gets the tempi just right, particularly in the "libera me", where many other conductors tend to rush headlong at breakneck speed, mistaking momentum for artistic integrity. i won't go on - but a great, great ...
