Product description

Dive into the captivating world of Erwin Schulhoff's chamber music with this exquisite collection of string quartets and pieces. This album, released in 2010 under the Naxos label, showcases Schulhoff's unique voice in the realm of classical music, blending modern and romantic styles seamlessly.

The Aviv Quartet masterfully performs Schulhoff's String Quartets Nos. 1 and 2, each piece a testament to the composer's innovative spirit and deep musical understanding. The String Quartet No. 1 opens with the fiery "Presto con fuoco" and concludes with the introspective "Andante molto sostenuto," while the String Quartet No. 2 features a captivating "Tema con variazioni" and a dynamic finale.

In addition to the quartets, the album includes five charming pieces that draw inspiration from various dance styles. From the elegant "Alla Valse Viennese" to the rhythmic "Alla Tango Milonga," these pieces offer a delightful contrast to the more expansive quartets. The playful "Alla Tarantella" is a standout, showcasing the quartet's virtuosity and the composer's wit.

With a total duration of nearly 50 minutes, this album is a rich exploration of Schulhoff's compositional genius. Whether you're a seasoned classical enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this collection promises an engaging and rewarding listening experience.
