EMR CD016 presents the World Première recordings of Parry’s wonderful String Quartet in G major of 1878 and the String Quintet of 1884, performed by the Bridge Quartet, joined by Robert Gibbs. The Quartet and Quintet represent a watershed in Parry’s compositional development and his unique voice emerges through these seminal works. The Quartet channels his Dionysian energy and exercises his formidable contrapuntal skills, while the Quintet reveals the more poetic eloquence, warmth and nobility of his mature style; both works are bathed in celestial melodic radiance.
