Album Notes & Community Reviews

This definitive box set collection of the composer's string quartets is a cornerstone of twentieth-century chamber music recording. The LaSalle Quartett provides immaculate, intellectually rigorous interpretations of works that trace the evolution of the modernist canon from late-romanticism to the radical adoption of serialism. It is a highly respected, authoritative document essential to understanding the development of atonality.
