Review by Matthew Meriwether

The album "String Quartet No. 7 String Quartet No. 8" by Robert Simpson, performed by the Delmé String Quartet, is a stunning display of classical music mastery. The quartet's technical precision and emotional depth are evident throughout the album, which features two of Simpson's most celebrated compositions.

The first piece, String Quartet No. 7, is a complex and challenging work that showcases the Delmé String Quartet's ability to navigate intricate rhythms and harmonies with ease. The quartet's performance is both powerful and nuanced, capturing the intensity and drama of the piece while never losing sight of its underlying beauty.

String Quartet No. 8 is a more introspective work, with a hauntingly beautiful melody that is expertly rendered by the Delmé String Quartet. The quartet's performance is delicate and intimate, drawing the listener into the emotional world of the piece and creating a sense of deep connection with the music.
