Gonna check out Zander some stuff, such an interesting character

 

[Fugue]

Wow--easily one of the best I've heard. Fantastically rich, warm sound, too. A winner.

rediscovering this 100 cd box which was standing on some backward bookshelf for some years now..
 
this will keep me busy for a while

 
The quality of sound and performances are superb, nice analogue sound too

 

[Fugue]

Very few of these pieces have been attempted on the guitar before this ground-breaking release in 1993. Very good playing and sound.

Robin de Raaff is a new name to me. His style is hard to pin down--some parts remind me more recent Penderecki, others a bit of Schoenberg, still others very fragmented and pointillistic. The sound varies a bit among the pieces, but it is never less than very good. Pieces include his Cello Concerto, the title track, and Symphony No.3.

Thank you for sharing these!  Simply magnificent!

One of my favorites, you have any thoughts on who this compares to other string quartets? I read this book recently, written by the first violinist of Takacs Quartet, very interesting and entertaining

^ That book's been on my list for a while - had started the Swafford book, but currently on hold due to exam commitments
 
On the LvB quartets - the 'democracy' of the compositions is one of the things that struck me in my early encounters, it still strikes me now - that is, how all four instruments are given equal limelight/emphasis in the music and performance. Watching the Zander masterclass reminded me of that again.

Swafford's books are great reads, sounds like you have your priorities straight though, good for you m8
