FOUR STRING QUARTETS BY IAN WILSON Written during an 18-month spell around the turn of the millennium, the three numbered quartets on this disc represent a key period in Ian Wilson’s career. Although he made his home in Belgrade in 1998, a year later the NATO bombing campaign forced relocation to the Republic of Ireland. The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth quartets were written shortly after this and the Fifth, …wander, darkling, particularly bears the scars of this traumatic time. It comes as no surprise that this is something of the ‘odd man out’ on this disc.
