Ronald Center (1913-1973) is sometimes described as “the Scottish Bart’ok”, and his music does indeed capture some of the stark, wild energy of the Scottish landscape in a style of Bart’okian asperity. These three string quartets show him, in his northeast corner of Scotland, to have been fully conversant with the quartets being written around the same time by Barber, Britten and Shostakovich, but their direct manner, terse expression, wiry humour and roots in Scottish folk-music ensure that Center is his own man.
