String Quartets Nos. 1-3

by Alfred Schnittke / The Tale Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1-3 cover art

This recording captures The Tale Quartet fiercely interpreting Alfred Schnittke's highly intense, modern classical chamber works. The string quartets are deeply anxious and incredibly somber, relying on aggressive, dissonant serialist techniques to forge a suspenseful, atonal acoustic atmosphere.
