About

JAMES FRISKIN was born in Glasgow on the 3rd of March 1886. His early musical talent as pianist and composer resulted in a piano scholarship to the Royal College of Music at the age of only fourteen. Five years of piano study with Edward Dannreuther followed; then in 1905 he was awarded a scholarship to study composition with Charles Villiers Stanford, the outstanding composition professor of the day. In 1914 he emigrated to the USA. Based in New York, he taught at the Institute of Musical Arts. Later he was an original faculty member of the Juilliard Graduate School, where he taught until his death.

THE RASUMOVSKY QUARTET:

Friendships over many years preceded the formation of the Rasumovsky Quartet in 1984. Shared membership of such ensembles as the Music Group of London, the Julian Bream Consort and the Zorian and Amici Quartets has given the Quartet an unusual depth of experience. Audiences in Britain and abroad have warmed to the variety of programmes, mature interpretation and enthusiasm which characterise the Quartet's music making.

The Quartet derives its name from Count Rasumovsky, the Imperial Russian ambassador in Vienna for thirty years - now remembered primarily as the dedicatee of Beethoven's superb set of Quartets op.59.

based on the music presented on this CD, I am convinced that the search for other ‘lost’ works will be well worth the effort. James Friskin is no ‘forgotten genius’: his essays are never going to usurp the chamber works of Frank Bridge and John Ireland. However, he is a worthy and often inspired voice that demands to be heard
