Background: One of the largest works in chamber music literature, Alistair Hinton's String Quintet is in many respects his most ambitious composition to date. Scored for two violins, viola, 'cello and double bass, its five-movement structure is divided into two parts. Its finale has an important part for solo soprano.

Its creation was spread over 8 years and the recording completed precisely 30 years after its first notes were committed to paper. An ensemble of distinguished virtuosi, each well known for extensive contributions to contemporary music performance, was formed specially to make this recording.

'...an absolutely superb achievement...not a single longueur; I hung on every note...unique sound world...the marvellous counterpoint...a unique statement of intellectual weight and emotional gravity...a masterpiece' - Anthony Payne.
