From Collection QB, Quatuor Bozzini‘s imprint, comes a legendary recording originally produced by Editions Wandelweiser in 2006. This reissue commemorates the quartet’s 25th anniversary, and brings back an essential piece of their eclectic discography back into circulation. Swiss composer Jürg Frey‘s String Quartets disc was met with enthusiasm upon its release and has since been name-checked by Björk (in her interview with the Creative Independent), praised by beloved critic Alex Ross, and cited as inspiration for many others, and justifiably so. Its initial run is now out-of-print.
