I like the way this music unfolds, very organically in a way. And the intensity of it! Obviously a great performance. Very sad to hear that her other quartets are not available in recordings.
She was the first serial composer in England, this is great, edgy, atmospheric 12-note music, none of that flowery romantic nonsense. Somebody should record all of these quartets.
Lutyens finished this quartet in a single twelve-hour sitting. I think the music reflects her flow of thoughts. She composed at least fourteen string quartets, all have been published but only this No.6 is recorded and commercialized.
Great music.

I like the way the surface of the record comes through.
