Remember fighting off the Sandman, desperately struggling to stay awake at the chance that you might catch a glimpse of Saint Nick. Every rustle or bump made you jolt from your quilted pod and race to the living room where the lit tree posed, draped in soft light. Still no Santa! It took all your energy to climb back into bed with your eyelids drawn and your body heavy. Tucked back in as best as …

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach would almost certainly have approved of this arrangement of his organ work (BWV 582) for string quartet by John Cooley, as it conveniently has four contrapuntal parts, and he was well known for making arrangements of his own works, according to instrumental resources at his disposal. Moreover, the parts mostly fit well within the ranges of violin, viola and cello, a…

Par SCULTHORPE PETER. 'A rigorously static work. The sonata, the dry gongs and desert glare of its percussion encircling the lonely human agony of the viola, exists in a climate in which emotion is all the fiercer for being half-stifled and haltingly articulate.'Sydney Morning Herald (Roger Covell), 15 August 1964/ Répertoire / Ensemble Mixte

Par JANACEK LEOS. Janácek's 2nd String Quartet, Intimate Letters, is regarded as a highlight of the modern string quartet literature. It was written during the composer’s last year of life, between 29 January and 19 February 1928, inspired by the ageing Janáèek's exceptional love for Kamila Stösslová. The Moravian Quartet devoted themselves to this impressive work; Janácek attended a total of thre…

3. Streichquartett. Par FELDMANN WALTER. Der « noyé » [der Ertränkte] ist eine Gruppe von Kompositionen, die alle von einem einzigen Stück abgeleitet sind, von meinem ersten Streichquartett. Das Original, « . . . à tournoyer » [1990], und seine drei heute noch gültigen Folgekompositionen sollen aber nicht zyklisch aufgeführt werden : sexe-tuor [für Oboe oder Piccolo und einen Nachhall], le sexe du…

Für Sopran [d?? b??], Viola da gamba concertata, 2 Violinen & B. c. aus der Oper ?Didione abbandonata?, herausgegeben als Erstausgabe von Simone Eckert. Interessant ist bei der zeitgenössischen anonymen Bearbeitung, die möglicherweise von Forqueray angeregt wurde, die Nähe zu Abels Vokalwerk ?Frena le belle lagrime?. Nicht nur die Besetzung gleicht Abels Arie im galanten Stil, sondern auch der mus…

Par MUSTONEN OLLI.

Das viersätzige Quartett knüpft an die historischen Linien der Gattung seit Klassik und Romantik an und überträgt s…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Quartet in C Minor is in four movements with a total duration of about 25 minutes. The opening Allegro is Dvorák-ish in its lyricism, though there is a darker, more brooding atmosphere towards the close. It is tempting to detect a hint of folk-song in the theme of the Andantino, played by the Viola, but that may be stretching hindsight too far. The movement has a wistfu…
