A new release features the String Quartet No. 2 (Op. 38) along with Arnold Schoenberg's First Quartet of 1905. That would be pre-12-tone of course. First Boulez with the Sinfonia concertante; then Carter (twice!) with the Piano Sonata; now this. What would the maestro have said about these once unlikely discmates?

This limited release (300 copies)is available only direct from the Portland String Quartet via jaes15@maine.rr.com It derives from a 1991 live performance. Looking back via our Web site's search engine, I see that we mentioned a Portland (Maine) performance back in PMS 49 (1991). The reference there was to the First Quartet. It may have referred to a different performance or it may have been a mistake.
