Reviews

Hoyland’s tough new single-movement string quartet
Desmond Shaw-Taylor

Fine playing in the String Quartet by Vic Hoyland, who has a remarkable flair for conceiving and recording vivid sonority and a mind capable of controlling it
Robert Cockroft

A good vintage of new music: Hoyland’s quartet, tightly worked, tough music
