Performed by the Arditti String Quartet (Irvine Arditti, David Alberman, Levine Andrade, Rohan de Saram) at De IJsbreker in Amsterdam on 12 September 1989 (Gaudeamus Muziekweek). Recording quality is not so great - if anyone has a better recording of this let me know!

Thanks for uploading so many of these hard- or impossible-to-find recordings. I've been searching for this piece in particular for a long time.

@r-barrett: Don't know if this link is stable, but the British Library has recordings by the Ardittis from Dec 1988 and Oct 1995 (ICA): http://cadensa.bl.uk/uhtbin/cgisirsi/?ps=qiqf82wNy0/WORKS-FILE/275750046/18/X299/XTITLE/I+open+and+close^2FBarrett

@roddymusic: Thanks Roddy, the link didn't work but I'll have a hunt around the BL

Great to see that this will be released on vol. 3 of the Darmstadt boxed set series on Neos!
