Quatuor Diotima celebrates Pierre Boulez’ centenary with a recording of his Livre pour quatuor, containing the world-premiere of the piece’s fourth movement, which the composer conceived in close cooperation with the members of Diotima, and was completed by Philippe Manoury after his death. This recording adds a fascinating chapter to Boulez’s "work in progress", and is a fitting successor to the quartet’s acclaimed Ligeti recording from 2023. Quatuor Diotima was formed in 1996 by graduates of the Paris national conservatory.

If you have a new recording you would like us to consider for inclusion in our "For the Record" feature, please e-mail Editor Laurie Niles. Be sure to include the name of your album, a link to it and a short description of what it includes.
