专辑简介

In this reading by renowned composer and conductor Christopher Walker, he explores the musical roots of the Four Quartets. They are read with innate understanding - any definition is yours to discover with these masterpieces.

Eliot himself said "...these poems are all in a particular set form which I have elaborated, and the word "quartet" does seem to me to start people on the right track for understanding them ("sonata" in any case is too musical). It suggests to me the notion of making a poem by weaving in together three or four superficially unrelated themes: the "poem" being the degree of success in making a new whole out of them."
