Momenta Quartet plays Alvin Singleton
Momenta Quartet is the ensemble of choice for the distinguished American composer Alvin Singleton – they made the premiere recordings of three of the four pieces on this program, including his legendary Quartet #2 – Secret Desire to be Black. The pieces come from all different periods in his long, illustrious career, but they all show his sense of drama, his theatricality, and his supreme composerly craft.
