The Dominion Quartet continues its exploration of the string quartets of Alfred Hill, an Australian-born composer who studied in Europe and lived for much of his life in New<br>Zealand. The Fifth pays tribute to France, America, Italy and Britain, nations that were allies during World War I. In the Seventh, hints of the music of Debussy, Ravel and Dvorak<br>coexist within Hill's own Late Romantic idiom. The Ninth, with its touches of Iberian colour,<br>Impressionist passages and Czech harmonies show Hill as a musical citizen of the world.
