Kronos Quartet / Witold Lutoslawski - String Quartet album flac

Witold Lutosławski: String Quartet is a studio album by the Kronos Quartet, containing String quartet by Polish Witold Lutosławski composed in 1964 and first performed in 1965. This string quartet is an example of aleatory music, that is, music in which some element of the composition is left to chance, and/or some primary element of a composed work's realization is left to the determination of its performer(s).

For this Elektra/Nonesuch release, the Kronos Quartet interprets Witold Lutoslawski's 1964 String Quartet, an uncommonly difficult piece since the four musicians are commanded to play their parts ad lib, as if they were alone. Lutoslawski was influenced by the random procedures of John Cage, but he also wished to maintain dramatic structure, so string quartet includes rigidity in time measures. The balance between freedom and structure provides for a surprisingly appealing recording.

The Varsovia Quartet Plays String Quartets from Poland: Szymanowski Nos. 1 & 2 Lutoslawski, Penderecki No. Import. In 1979 the German label Da Camera Magna released another recording of the Second by the Warschauer Streichquartett, paired with Lutoslawski's and Penderecki's First. The situation was lamentable: Szymanowski's both String Quartets belong to the masterpieces in the genre composed in the first half of the 20th Century. Szymanowski's style is entirely personal, intensely lyrical, shimmering with subtle and sensuous colors, with, especially in the Second Quartet, sinuous and sensuous melodies inspired by the music of the Near-East
