Ginastera: String Quartets

Miró Quartet; Kiera Duffy, soprano (Pentatone)

The superb Miró Quartet shows how far-reaching Alberto Ginastera’s musical development was. Inventive as the first two quartets are, they pale next to the third, a work of stunning imagination and hallucinatory presence. The Miró’s fierce performance, along with Kiera Duffy’s ethereal singing, make a conclusive case for this unfairly neglected composer. — David Weininger
