Sir Michael Tippett (1905-1998) fue una figura destacada en la música contemporánea británica del siglo XX. Sus cuatro cuartetos de cuerda abarcan toda su vida creativa y lo muestran como un compositor extremadamente hábil e innovador. En sus cuartetos de cuerda, la forma musical más desafiante y complicada, Tippett se inspira en los últimos cuartetos de Beethoven, particularmente en su escritura fuga, y en las texturas intrincadas y complejas de las cuatro voces. El cuarteto Britten ya mostró sus cualidades especiales en la música británica del siglo XX, su grabación de los cuartetos de cuerda de Benjamin Britten (Brilliant Classics 9168) recibió elogios. Sir Michael Tippett (1905-1998) escribió un total de siete cuartetos de cuerda, junto con dos esfuerzos tempranos que él mismo suprimió, considerando que las obras eran demasiado inmaduras. Al igual que las sinfonías, los cuartetos números 1-4, escuchados en este disco, abarcan el desarrollo de Tippett como compositor y revelan su profunda sensibilidad y habilidad para la música contrapuntística. Tomando particular inspiración de Beethoven, a quien Tippett tenía un gran respeto, los cuartetos muestran una lógica intelectual rigurosa y características estilísticas que llevan los sellos del estilo tardío de Beethoven. En los cuartetos números 2 y 3, por ejemplo, Tippett otorga una particular importancia a la escritura fuga, los números 1 y 2 muestran indicios de forma sonata, mientras que el cuarteto número 4 es una obra de varias partes: cuatro movimientos tocados sin interrupción. Sin embargo, a pesar de las fuentes de inspiración de Tippett, estas obras también son testimonio de su enfoque fundamentalmente innovador para la composición, escuchado en las complejas y intrincadas combinaciones de ritmos, experimentación estructural y segura manipulación de sonoridades de cuerdas.
