In his 90th year, Carter (b. 1908) saw his fantastic
fifth string quartet debuted by the Arditti String Quartet, and
he prepared to premiere his first opera. Carter is the best link
late-20th-century music has to Charles Ives. He's written works
of Ives's grand scope and miniature details, as well as set modern
poems to challenging musical contexts. Here
are his essential recordings.
