Philip Glass: String Quartet No.2 'Company': Quatuor à Cordes

The second string quartet by Philip Glass is a lyrical, almost romantic piece with strong prominant melodies and deceptively simplistic arrangement that reflects his pioneering minimal compositions. The piece began life as a scorefor Mabou Mines, the New York theater company that counted him as unofficial composer for almost three decades, and the name comes from the Samuel Beckett play Company.
