About this product
Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1803) studied theology and won his first reputation as a poet with the publication in 1748 of the first three songs of his biblical epic Der Messias (The Messiah). Throughout his life his religious and moral poems of experience were admired by, among others, Goethe and the poets of the Göttinger Hainbund. Klopstock spent almost twenty years of his life in Copenhagen, where the Danish King Friedrich V granted him a pension that allowed him to work without worrying on the completion of his Messias. In 1770 Klopstock returned to Germany and lived in Hamburg until his death. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries many composers followed the expressed wish of the poet and set many of his works to music. With Schubert's Klopstock settings this tradition finds it's conclusion, with later generations of composers only sporadically devoting attention to his poems. Friedrich von Matthisson (1761-1831) began to study theology at Halle in 1778, but later turned to philology and pedagogy. As travelling companion and private secretary of Princess Luise of Anhalt-Dessau he became a popular member of court society and made many contacts in aristocratic and cultural circles. After the death of the princess he entered the service of King Friedrich I of Württemberg. He was given the title of Confidential Legation Counsel and was Chief Librarian and member of the directorate of the Stuttgart Theatre. In 1828 Matthisson left Stuttgart and returned to the princedom of Anhalt-Dessau. He died in 1831 at Wörlitz.

![Eliot Quartett - Meyer & Shostakovich: DSCH & beyond - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/25fd2faa-b7be-42b6-8254-785c51625d40.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
In their latest GENUIN album, the Eliot Quartett pays homage to one of the 20th century's greatest composers. Shostakovich's String Quartets Nos. 3 and 8 are paired with InchAu-dela d'une absenceInch by Krzysztof Meyer, a poignant tribute from a composer who personally knew the Russian master. The Eliot Quartett, one of the leading ensembles on the international stage, is dedicating itself to an in-depth exploration of Shostakovich's oeuvre in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of his passing. Their album, performed with the highest artistry, stands as a powerful testament to this endeavor playing that is clear, transparent, and yet profoundly intense, bringing both Shostakovich's originals and Meyer's touching and personal homage to life.

With BENJAMIN, Peter Ruzicka presents his own subjective, musical InchreenactmentInch of Benjamin's thoughts and life. A narrative unfolds in seven stages which reflects Walter Benjamin's flight in suggestive images in which dream sequences and reality interweave. Benjamin's encounters with Hannah Arendt, Bertolt Brecht, Gershom Scholem and Asya Lacis - the woman who tried to persuade him for many years to embrace historical materialism - became the cornerstones of this rhetorical arc. InchThese stagesInch, says Ruzicka, Inchmay represent a unique life story in the 20th century, whereby in view of the devastation of that century, it is inevitable that the wounds that are thought to have healed are made to bleed againInch.

This album is important musically and culturally, presenting chamber works for strings by two leading Iranian composers. Amir Mahyar Tafreshipour specializes in music that reaches across time and place and is truly international, and he has worked with orchestras and artists in the UK, Denmark and Turkey as well as his home country. Presented here are his 'Broken Times' for string quartet and 'Pendar' for solo violin. Fozié (or Fozieh) Majd is a remarkable composer who also writes for an international audience, having had success all around Europe in concert and with music for film. As a female living under the Iranian regime since the 1979 revolution she has spent much time teaching and collecting folk tunes from the provinces as well as promoting her works in the USA and Europe. The album includes her wonderful Dreamland Quartet and Farãghi (In Absentia) for violin and cello. The quartet of performers is made up of four leading string players from the UK including Darragh Morgan who is also leader of the Fidelio Trio; Patrick Savage, former first violin of the Royal Philharmonic (also an acclaimed composer of film music); Fiona Winning, formerly principal viola of the RPO and in-demand freelancer; and Deirdre Cooper, currently principal cellist with l'Orchestre des jardins musicaux in Switzerland.
