Notes and Editorial Reviews
"...I have known [the Third String Quartet] for many years through a treasured EMI-Greece box of LPs, which has a good range of Skalkottas' chamber music, and enough of the piano music to arouse the keenest interest... It is worth looking out for, though long unavailable... Some of the playing is a bit rough & ready, but not sufficiently so to dampen enthusiasm..." -- Peter Grahame Woolf, MusicWeb International [referring to the original LP release of this set]
