The music of the Yorkshire-born Arnold Cooke (1906-2005) - solidly constructed, inventively contrapuntal, lyrical and energetic in turns - does not deserve the neglect it suffered even in it's composer's lifetime. This first album, of two presenting all five of Cooke's string quartets, underlines his reputation for resourceful craftsmanship, presented in a style which sits downstream from Paul Hindemith, with whom he studied in Berlin, and from Béla Bartók.
