Yearning from String Quartet No 16
The San Francisco based Del Sol String Quartet has included Yearning, the third movement from Sculthorpe’s STRING QUARTET NO 16 on its newly released disc entitled Ring of Fire, on Other Minds CDs. In his illuminating liner essay Charles Amirkhanian introduces the Del Sol String Quartet:

“[...] whose passionate advocacy for composers of the Western Hemisphere and of the countries of the Pacific Rim has generated a burgeoning fan base in recent years [...] we’re not in Haydn’s Vienna, birthplace of the string quartet, anymore. Here the light is clear and strong and the weight of culture tilts toward Asia rather than the courts of the Esterházys. [...] The ring of fire—the constellation of volcanoes that rim the Pacific Ocean—therefore is emblematic of the evolution of the way we hear here. [...]

“Although influences from the more chromatic world of the Second Viennese School certainly are to be found in the Western U.S. and around the Pacific Rim countries, they never achieved the dominance they did in Europe or in the Eastern United States.

“Our composers in this compilation represent the People’s Republic of China, Cambodia, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, Australia and the San Francisco Bay Area. They are a remarkable group of individuals who have brilliantly mined their native cultures to widen the expression of their music. We are pleased to call them ‘other minds’.”

In Gramophone magazine’s US Edition (December 2008), Donald Rosenberg praised this “fascinating amalgam of recent works” played by the Del Sol “with a combination of ferocious attack, riveting interplay and silken splendour [ ...] All of the composers hail from — or have worked extensively in ­countries around the Pacific Rim. Although they represent different cultures and musical vantage-points, their identification with specific regional elements binds them here as an artistic community.”

In addition to works by Kui Dong (China), Chinary Ung (Cambodia), Jack Body (New Zealand), Gabriela Lena Frank (USA), Hyo-shin Na (South Korea), Zhou Long (China), John Adams (USA), Rosenberg admired
“the despairing beauty of Peter Sculthorpe's Yearning (the third movement of his String Quartet No 16), with roots in a central Afghanistan love song.”

String Quartet No 10 to clarinet quartet
A unique arrangement of Sculthorpe's String Quartet No 10 for clarinets features on a recent (2007)
MOVE CD (MCD 340), called Second door on the left, from Canberra-based clarinet quartet,
Clarity (Nicole Canham, Lisa Manning, Samantha Kelson, Matthew O'Keefe
).

The arrangement of just three of the work's five movements was made specially by Zach Clarke. But the new CD prompted Sculthorpe to make his own version of the remaining two movements for the group as Chorales (2008) for clarinet quartet.
