Our Take

The MAGGINI QUARTET's rendition of Maxwell Davies' Naxos Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 is a sonic journey through the whimsical and avant-garde world of contemporary classical music.

From the first notes of Quartet No. 1, the quartet establishes a sense of unease before diving headfirst into a cacophony of dissonant melodies and complex rhythms. It's like being lost in a musical maze, unsure of where the next turn will take you.

But fear not, dear listener, for the MAGGINI QUARTET guides you through this musical labyrinth with skill and precision. Their interpretation of Maxwell Davies' intricate compositions is nothing short of masterful, highlighting the nuances and complexities of each piece with a deft touch.

Quartet No. 2 is a slightly more subdued affair, with haunting melodies and ethereal harmonies that transport you to another realm. It's as if you're floating in a dream-like state, carried along by the quartet's delicate yet powerful playing.

Overall, the MAGGINI QUARTET's performance of Maxwell Davies' Naxos Quartets Nos. 1 and 2 is a triumph of modern classical music. With their flawless technique and deep understanding of the composer's intentions, they breathe new life into these challenging works, leaving listeners in awe of their musical prowess. So, grab your headphones, sit back, and let the MAGGINI QUARTET take you on a wild ride through the sonic landscapes of Maxwell Davies' imagination.
