The American critic Robert Reilly described Matthews' music as 'some of the most concentrated, penetrating writing' for string quartet 'in the past 30 years or more. It is musical thinking of the highest order and quartet writing in the great tradition of Beethoven, Bartók, Britten, and Tippett'. The works in this volume share the same basic features, not least a mastery of counterpoint, an impassioned lyricism, a sublimated hint of folksong and occasionally a sly sense of humour.
