Peter Child: Reviews: String Quartet No. 1 Composed 1987. APNM. Excerpt from The Boston Globe, April 28, 1987
With the String Quartet of Peter Child, receiving its premiere, the
Lydian's hospitality to the new brought a highly satisfying return.
This is a strong, serious piece that knows what it
means and knows how to say it. The dramatic shapes in it are
beautifully meshed, and a sense of creative, generative momentum runs
all through it, leading the listener on irresistibly. This Quartet
was the genuine article, likewise the spirited, cogent performance.
One felt honored to be there.
