This long-awaited release, coming nine years after his previous album *Choral Works* (FOCD9763), is a collection of string works performed by the internationally acclaimed Diotima String Quartet.\nIn 2010, Diotima performed Ito’s “String Quartet No. 1” at the Takefu International Music Festival, and three years later, “String Quartet No. 2” was premiered by Diotima following a commission from the same festival. The strong bond forged through this fortunate encounter led to the recording of this album, centered on these two string quartets.\n\n…In recent years, I have strongly desired for my works to exist as part of a lineage extending from the classics. Therefore, I feel that it is the greatest reward for a composer to have been able to capture on CD the realization of my six works, filtered through the members of Diotima—who are well-versed in both classical and contemporary music.
