Quatuor Diotima

The Sound of Silence:

mediated between these cultures as an essayist.

Hosokawa rarely turns to analogies from early Japanese lyric poetry to explain his music. Far more often he refers to the tradition of calligraphy. He ‘paints’ his compositions on the background of stillness, a canvas of silence.

The QUATUOR DIOTIMA was founded by graduates of the Paris and Lyon Conservatories. They were awarded First Prize at the FNAPEC Competition, Paris (1999) and the Contemporary Music Prize at the London String Quartet Competition (2000).

“Hosokawa likens his music to Japanese calligraphy, and this exquisite anthology of works for string quartet the Quatuor Diotima draw all the lines with exemplary grace and reticence.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2013 *****

Makiko Goto (koto) & Jeremias Schwarzer (recorder)

This collection explores what modern music sounds like in the age of global awareness, using examples from traditional Japanese music and new works based on the Japanese musical tradition. The koto is a Japanese zither and both this instrument and the recorder were used in the folk and art music of their respective cultures. Many of the pieces were commissioned for these artists by composers such as Koch-Raphael and Hosokawa.
