Edison Denisov The MSQ’s friendship and collaboration for many years with Edison Denisov started at approximately the same time the musicians were working with Schnittke and other ‘unofficial’ and ‘non-conformist’ composers of the Soviet underground. Members of the quartet actively promoted Denisov’s chamber music in Moscow and other regions of the Soviet Union. The beginning of the quartet’s performances in the West was also related to Denisov, who was always a passionate promulgator of the quartet, considering it to be one of the best in the world. The quartet participated at Denisov’s recitals in Italy and Bulgaria. Denisov’s Piano, Flute and Clarinet Quintets were recorded by the MSQ and released by MCA in 1990, and later by the Chant du Monde recording company.
