Description:

The album "Windmill" presents two of Australian composer Whittington?s hauntingly beautiful and elegant string quartets: his celebrated single-movement "Windmill," which draws sonic references to the small metal windmills commonly found in rural areas of Australia (?pump[ing] up life-giving water in the often desolate landscape,? the composer notes), as well as his seven-movement quartet, "?from a thatched hut," which embraces, sometimes obliquely, the composer?s deep interest in Chinese poetry and his frequent travels in China. He comments that the piece ?draws upon a particular strand of Chinese culture: the Chinese scholar who withdraws?from society.? Both works are performed by Australia?s acclaimed Zephyr Quartet, which recorded Whittington?s earlier Cold Blue release, "Music for Airport Furniture" (CB0038).
