{"product_id":"burgess-complete-guitar-quartets","title":"Burgess: Complete Guitar Quartets - Mēla Guitar Quartet","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eComposer and novelist, Anthony Burgess, was a unique creative artist whose dual mastery of music and literature resulted in a career strewn with an output of remarkable diversity. Burgess came into contact with the Aighetta Guitar Quartet while living in Monte Carlo in 1986, and the sublime arrangements and original works in this recording were all composed for this ensemble. The three guitar quartets range from the well-crafted First Quartet intended as a homage to Ravel, while the Second and Third Quartets explore virtuoso technique alongside adventurous and at times haunting harmonies and polytonality.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuitar Quartet No. 1 'Quatuor En Hommage À Maurice Ravel' (1986) (12:56)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI.
