This review is from: HILL: String Quartets Nos. 5, 6 and 11 (Audio CD)

As a conductor, for many years Professor of Harmony and Composition at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music, and blessed with a fine music room at his Mosman home (on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour), Hill was at the centre of Sydney musicianship for many years and had the opportunity to refine his art through frequent performance. He wrote some of the most beautiful chamber music of the 20th century, and his string quartets are warm, cultured and sometimes lovely. This CD contains very fine performances by the Australian String Quartet. If this is part of a move to record a sizeable body of Hill's chamber music, the world be will a better place for all music lovers. [SW]
