About this product

The Ragazze Quartet joins forces with violist and composer Garth Knox to perform two compositions for string quartet, along with numerous duets and solo pieces. His quartet 'Four Into Twenty' was written for the Ragazze Quartet and is a reflection on the current decade of the 'Twenties'. Garth Knox is at the forefront of the contemporary music scene. Drawing on his vast experience as the violist of the Arditti Quartet and Ensemble Intercontemporain, as well as his close collaboration with today's leading composers, he is a unique performer in many different styles. His own compositions broaden the horizon of all string players who play his music. He creates an imaginative world consisting of mostly cheerful sounds with a hint of Scottish and Irish folk music. Ragazze Quartet's album Four, Four, Three - Music of Terry Riley, released to critical acclaim, received Gramophone Magazine's Editor's Choice which stated InchThis performance deals up moments of sheer magicInch. Album Tracks 1. Satellites - String Quartet No. 1 (2015) Dedicated to the Kronos Quartet 2. One Finger (2009) 3. Ten Fingers (2018) 4.

The music of Béla Bartók has everything the mysterious tension of a thriller, loving lyricism, warm string sounds, almost impossible techniques challenging any string player to rediscover his instrument, and exhilarating rhythms which could well be rooted in folk dance. With the first volume in a complete string quartet cycle, The Ragazze Quartet has declared itself Bartók Bound. Album Tracks 1. String Quartet No. 1 Op 7 (SZ. 40) 30 20 2. I.

Camerata Salzburg - Stravinsky: Muses - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Camerata Salzburg begins a collaboration with Channel Classics and, with it's leader Giovanni Guzzo, presents it's first recording entitled Muses. The album includes three neoclassical masterpieces for chamber orchestra by Igor Stravinsky. The Concerto in E-flat InchDumbarton OaksInch is a small concerto in the style of the Brandenburg Concertos. Apollon musagète pays homage to Apollo, and to the Muses of mime, poetry and dance, with beautiful, harmonically pure and melodically perfect music. The Concerto in D employs every conceivable kind of string sound and technique, creating a combination of pure melodic and rhythmic drive and wonderful cantabile passages. In these three works, Camerata Salzburg delves deeply into sound, a quest made possible by each musician's individual commitment to the ensemble, uniting the muses of chamber music, concert and orchestra.
