  • Shostakovich: The String Quartets

    While his symphonies were subjected to scrutiny and censure by the suffocating Soviet government, the string quartets were chamber pieces into which he felt free to pour all his sadness, anger and boldest musical ideas. They are some of the most passionate, deeply affecting works in the classical canon, and these Emerson Quartet performances have won universal acclaim for their virtuosity and emotional power. Includes all 15 quartets on 5 CDs.

  • Intimate Voices: The Twentieth-Century String Quartet, Vol. 2: Shostakovich to the Avant-Garde (Eastman Studies in Music, Vol. 71)

    Modern composers as diverse as Béla Bartók, Maurice Ravel, Benjamin Britten, and John Cage have confided some of their most personal and intense thoughts to the medium of the string quartet. The resulting repertoire has won the allegiance of string players-and of listeners in the concert hall and at home. Yet, until now, no book has addressed the language of these remarkable works, their interactions with the masterpieces of Beethoven and others, and their new approaches to musical expression. Intimate Voices, organized in rough chronological order, offers the observations and intuitions of twenty leading authorities on quartets by twenty-one composers from eleven countries. Its two volumes-available separately or together-comprise an indispensable guide to amateur and professional chamb... [Read More]

  • Ades/Norgard/Abrahamsen

    Rune Tonsgaard Sorensen: violinFrederik Oland: violinAsbjorn Norgaard: violaFredrik Schoyen Sjolin: violoncelloThe Danish String Quartet, one of the most widely-acclaimed chamber groups of the present moment, makes its ECM debut playing a program of British and Danish music: Thomas Adess Arcadiana (composed 1994), Per Norgards Quartetto Breve (1952), and Hans Abrahamsens 10 Preludes (1973). The pieces were all written when the respective composers were each barely into their 20s, and have a freshness and intensity vividly conveyed in the DSQs interpretations. Arcadia has no national boundaries, writes Paul Griffiths in the liner notes. We may feel that the precision of nuance, the warm and intelligent closeness of voices and the command of form these Danish musicians bring to Abrahamsen as... [Read More]

  • Asheim: Broken Line

    Nils Henrik Asheim (b. 1960) Nils Henrik Asheim (b. 1960) combines a strong grip on the overall form with a fascination for details stringed loosely together. His music is original and challenging, but at the same time it strikes many people at home playful yet serious. In the title work Broken Line Asheim describes playing techniques with words such as rust, grey, stone and flame. Music that stops in order to present its surface, freezes, can paradoxically give a simultaneous feeling of depth. In the violin/cello piece Navigo the each player control the order of the various components, not knowing what the other musician is planning. In Chase this idea is continued: dividing a string sextet into two trios. In Nicht, on the other hand, the composer is totally in control over all the parame... [Read More]

  • Lejaren Hiller: A Total Matrix of Possibilities

    Lejaren Hiller (1924 1994) was a musically eclectic composer, often combining several different types of techniques in the same piece. In the mid-sixties, he asserted that his, "objective in composing music by means of computer programming is not the immediate realization of an aesthetic unity, but the providing and evaluating of techniques whereby this goal can eventually be realized." In this sense Hiller was a forward-looking composer, in that each piece was an experiment that lead toward the next piece. The three works contained in this collection drawn from the CRI LP back catalog demonstrate his love of musical diversity and eclecticism. These works also exhibit other trends that are common in Hiller s music, including collaboration, an interest in microtonality, symmetrical and arch... [Read More]
