String Quartet, pianist Ursula Oppens, and other celebrated
musicians. Six new recordings of important works by Elliott
Carter, including the first recording of his magnificent
Quintet for Piano and Strings, have been supervised

of the release features a 45-minute conversation with Carter,
Irvine Arditti,
Ursula Oppens, and Sospeso's Joshua
Cody; and Frank Scheffer's film of the Quintet for
Piano & Strings.
