We’re extremely proud of how the Slate Quartet’s recording of Brett Dean’s 2004 ‘Eclipse’ came out. Recorded during a quiet Sunday in the bleak mid-winter of January 2024 in small church in Marylebone, London, the dark, brooding and at times visceral passages of Dean’s String Quartet No. 1 highlighted by wonderful moments of tenderness somehow succinctly described the atmosphere outside the beautiful period building on that very day. This work, now 20 years old, is proving itself a modern masterpiece with new ensembles like the Slate Quartet championing it and programming it regularly in their concerts.
Slate Quartet, Carys Barnes, Jenny Clare, Oona Lowther, Tiago Soares Silva
