Description: Indebted to Bartók for its folk-inflected passages, Ligeti's first quartet of 1954 is still strikingly original; his second (1968) abounds in contrasts between glacial stillness and manic activity, mechanistic pizzicatos and gentle oscillations. The early (1950) Andante and Allegretto is richly expressive and quite accessible. Parker Quartet.
