About this product
For Quatuor Arod, the six string quartets in Haydn's opus 76 Inchrepresent the apogee of the Classical style, but they are also ageless, Inchpresenting almost infinite possibilitiesInch. This Haydn project has been close to Arod's heart for a long time. InchHaydn, the founding father of the string quartet, composed the op. 76 quartets in his mid-sixties. Representing Haydn in all his maturity, achievement and mastery as he exploits a broad expressive palette, they constitute a turning point in the history of the quartet as a genre.Inch Within this Classical repertoire, the Arod's players sought to be Inchfaithful to both the spirit and letter of these works... The modern bow, invented after the time of Haydn, did not allow us enough flexibility and lightness, which are defining features of his writing...Inch Arod's solution was to commission a new set of bows, based on models produced in the 1770s by the celebrated Tourte brothers. The players' instruments, which date from the 17th and 18th centuries, remained configured for modern practice. InchThe impact of the Classical bows was immediate the articulation became more natural, the responses more flexible, the sound more transparent. The bows transformed our playing, which became lighter, more open and more free.Inch

Archive collection containing previously unreleased demos and work-in-progress mixes of Primal Scream's era-defining classic album, Screamadelica - providing a new insight into the album's creation. Liner notes by Jon Savage. Originally released in 1991, Primal Scream's Screamadelica is one of those rare records that's indisputably an era-defining, all-time classic. It's hedonistic collision course of club culture and rock roots made Primal Scream one of the most critically adored bands of recent decades, and took them into the Top 10 for the first time, later becoming the first ever album to win the Mercury Prize. It's singles, including 'Movin' On Up', 'Loaded' and 'Come Together' remain dancefloor and radio favorites to this day
![Quatuor Arod - Debussy, Ravel, Attahr: String Quartets - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/241c0bb3-8ac4-413a-81b1-c9dc3e3ac2d8.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The string quartets of Debussy and Ravel, composed within a decade of each other, make a natural pairing. The Arod Quartet, celebrating it's 10th anniversary in 2023, sets these two belle époque masterpieces in a present-day context with a third work Al Asr, by the young French composer Benjamin Attahir. The scope of this Erato is further expanded with a DVD documentary about the Arod Quartet, entitled Ménage à quatre and directed by Bruno Monsaingeon. His first experience of the Arod Quartet was a revelation InchHad I ever heard such sheer strength of attack, such dramatic power, such a variety of sonic colour or dramatic range - all combined with such prodigious delicacy of phrasing?Inch It was in 2017 that the Arod Quartet gave the premiere of Benjamin Attahir's Al Asr, a substantial work which takes poetic inspiration from the Muslim afternoon prayer and the intense heat of the moment midway between noon and sunset. InchAl Asr is dedicated to my wonderful friends in the Quatuor Arod,Inch says Attahir. InchThey have brought it to life in a way I would never have dared to dream.Inch
![Haydn / Lasalle Quartet - String Quartets - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c0108c5d-1f95-4884-abb3-9a308e501afa.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The LaSalle Quartet was active from 1946-88; however, it's influence goes far beyond that. Violinist Walter Levine is still a vital, much sought out authority for string players. From their founding, the Quartet was devoted to the late 19th and 20thc repertoire. The works of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern were a significant part, as were the quartets of Schoenberg's teacher, Alexander Zemlinsky. This CD of studio recordings from 1965,1968 and 1977 draws Zemlinsky together with Haydn and Brahms - a bold program for an ensemble specializing in modern to include some Inchearly musicInch.
