An Interview with The Tantalus Quartet
The Tantalus Quartet is an excellent ensemble with excellent repertoire. They specialize in music by living composers, and actively pursue new works for guitar quartet. When I saw them in concert at the University of Louisville Guitar Festival, they were in top form, playing works by Dyens and Domeniconi and works written for them.
