BiographyKnox was the youngest of four siblings, and although he was born in Ireland, he was raised in Scotland, to a family who all played a variety of musical instruments. The youngest of four children who all played stringed instruments, Knox chose to study the viola as his primary instrument. After studies at the Royal College of Music in London with Frederic Riddle, he became a member of Pierre Boulez's Ensemble InterContemporain in Paris (1983–1990) then joined the Arditti Quartet in London (1990–1997).[1] He has given first performances by and worked with most of the leading composers. (György Ligeti, Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Boulez, György Kurtág, Salvatore Sciarrino, Hans Werner Henze etc.) Now soloist on viola and viola d'amore, he lives in Paris. As well as numerous recording with the Ensemble InterContemporain and especially with the Arditti Quartet, his first solo CD, Works for Viola on Naïve Records, won the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, the second is called Spectral Viola on Zeitklang records, and a recent Viola d'Amore CD[2] with ECM Records was record of the month in the British magazine Gramophone (September 2008).[3] In 2009 Garth Knox recorded another CD with ECM that was published in 2012: Saltarello – "a 14th-century fast Italian dance in ¾ time that survives today as a folk dance".[4] Knox (fiddle, viola and viola d'amore) is accompanied by Agnès Vesterman (violoncello) and Sylvain Lemêtre (percussion). The compositions interpreted by the trio range from medieval music (Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume de Machaut), renaissance (John Dowland), baroque (Henry Purcell, Antonio Vivaldi) to those of contemporaries like Kaija Saariaho and Garth Knox himself. The album published in 2012 was much acclaimed also by jazz critics.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.garthknox.org/biography.htm|title=Garth Knox|last=Knox|first=Garth|year=2010|work=Official Website/biography|accessdate=9 July 2010}} 2. ^{{cite journal | authorlink=Carlos María Solare | title=D'Amore | journal=The Strad | volume=119 | issue=1421 | pages=108 | date=September 2008 | issn = 0039-2049 }} 3. ^{{cite journal | authorlink=Ivan Moody | title=Disc of the month | journal=Gramophone | volume=86 | issue=1035 | pages=75 | date=September 2008 | issn = 0017-310X }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/New_Series/2100/2157.php|title=ECM New Series 2157|year=2012|work=Catalogue|accessdate=31 January 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=42698|title=Garth Knox: Saltarello (2012), jazz review by Hrayr Attarian|year=2012|work=Review|accessdate=31 January 2013}} External links
