About this product
Woldemar Bargiel was Clara Schumann's half brother and Robert Schumann's brother-in-law. Already in the nineteenth century hardly any lexicon failed to note these relational circumstances, surely more to Bargiel's disadvantage since it for many years led to his relegation to the Inchsecond ranks.Inch It is only recently that the study of his private papers, which somehow miraculously managed to survive two world wars, has inspired increasing interest in his oeuvre. His papers include manuscripts as well as more than 1,500 letters demonstrating that he was a sought-after personality in the European music world. Moreover, in 2010 Dean Cáceres published a study based on analytic methods laying the foundation for what is an impressive demonstration of Bargiel's personal style - which the Orpheus Quartet now thoroughly confirms on it's complete recording of the composer's string chamber music. Bargiel's chamber compositions display the most skillful formal elaboration. Like Beethoven, Bargiel attached more importance to the elaboration of the thematic material than to the melodies themselves. On the whole Bargiel may be regarded as one of the most important academic composers of the first half of the nineteenth century. During his lifetime numerous fellow musicians, among them Brahms and Draeseke, highly valued his works. Album Tracks 1. String Quartet No. 3 Op. 15B 2. String Quartet No. 4 Op. 47 3. String Octet Op. 15A 4. String Quartet No. 1 5. String Quartet No. 2

Contemporaries of Joachim Raff (1822-82) valued him as an expert in the history of music and art and as a composer who knew how to produce richly colored instrumentations. Following releases of some of his symphonies and piano trios, cpo now turns to the composer's Second, Third, Fourth and Eighth String Quartets. In his »middle quartets« the classicistic control of his music from those years makes itself manifest, i.e., interpretive markings in Italian, exposition repeats unmotivated by an increased degree of difficulty, a reduction in chromatics and a return to old dance forms.

Seattle Symphony’s first holiday album embraces works composed specifically for Christmas as well as other pieces that convey a universal message of peace, love and hope—the essence of humanity’s highest aspirations. Music Director Gerard Schwarz asked two composers, the Symphony’s Composer in Residence Samuel Jones and Seattle Symphony Principal Oboe Ben Hausmann, to “make the music their own” by scoring several of the pieces to retain the unaffected simplicity of these well-known Christmas and concert works. Schwarz joined them in this task, arranging or editing several of the pieces, with the resulting works celebrating the remarkable artistry of the musicians of the Orchestra. In these new settings, recorded entirely in Benaroya Hall, the music emerges with honest, untarnished beauty. Album Tracks 1. The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71A I. Miniature Overture 00 03 12 2.

Dvorak's quartets number among the gems of their genre. A new recording by one and the same ensemble is long overdue and the fact that the Vogler Quartet has taken on this gigantic task is very good luck indeed. The Vogler Quartet is a phenomenon. It's membership has remained unchanged since 1985 and over the years the individual and team talent of it's musicians has secured them a place among the world's top chamber ensembles. Album Tracks 1. String Quartet Op. 96 2. Zypressen for String Quartet 3. Bagatelles Op. 47 for 2 Violins, Violoncello & Harmonium 1. String Quartets Opp. 34 & 51
