Gavin Bryars - The Last Days (Balanescu Quartet) (1995)
Classical | EAC (APE, CUE & NO LOG) | 334 MB

This rendition of Gavin Bryars' String Quartets 1 and 2 and the seminal piece called The Last Days for two violins by the Balanescu Quartet is much more intense than the Arditti Quartet (ECM) with its grave overtones. Much like Messiaen's Quartets for the End of Time without the spiritual garbage, listeners should find Bryars' music inviting.

Gavin Bryars is terribly gifted and I jump at the chance to hear more of his music for "traditional" instruments
