Reviewers,
trying to find a label
for Godfrey's music, will
compare him to Debussy,
Ravel, Stravinsky, even
Barber, using words such
as lyrical, lush, and
always tonal and melodic.
2004 saw the release of
an all-Godfrey CD,
including String Quartet
No. 2, by the Cassatt
String Quartet, an album
that the New Yorker
hailed as one of the 10
best of that year.
Formerly available only
on a rental basis, String
Quartet No. 2 is now
available for sale. Real
sensual warmth, with a
touch of the sensibility
of Schoenberg's
Transfigured NightÃÂ
These very touching works
are completely tonal and
basically pick up from
the point where music was
derailed some four score
years ago... It is
remarkable that music
like this is being
written, recorded, and
widely celebrated. Robert
Reilly, Surprised by
Beauty: A Listener's
Guide to the Recovery of
Modern Music (Ignatius
Press).
