About
Prokofiev’s first string quartet was first performed in 1931. This wonderful quartet combines music of exuberant brilliance with gorgeous tunes and a deep, expressive melancholy. Webern’s Langsamer Satz is a beautiful and passionate love song to his future wife. Aloys Fleischmann wrote his Movement for String Quartet while a student at University College, Cork 1927-1932. Ginastera’s stunning first string quartet is still one of the great unknowns in the quartet repertoire. Rooted in the rhythmic energy of Argentinian folk tradition this is wild and thrilling music.
