On this CD Fabian Muller presents his String Quartets No's 2-4, superbly recorded by the Swiss Galatea Quartet.

Each of the three quartets from the years 2010 to 2011 reveals a unique tonal language that is equally inspired by Swiss traditions and timeless themes.

Fabian Muller (*1964) is one of the leading Swiss composers of his generation. His works have been premiered by great musicians of our time such as David Zinman, Andris Nelsons and Sir Roger Norrington amongst others.

Fabian Muller's music is created wholly out of an intuitive freedom. His starting point is rarely a concept developed by the intellect for the music to follow. His works thus encompass modernistic and traditional elements. He feels no duty to any particular school or dogma, seeing his composing as a voyage of discovery undertaken by an independent spirit, combining a playful treatment of traditional methods with the unexpected and unforeseen. An extraordinary chamber music experience with an unmistakably Swiss character.
