Arcadia Quartet

Description:

For its very first recording on Chandos, the Arcadia String Quartet presents what has been at the very heart of its musical career and influences: the complete string quartets by BartÃ³k. With the music of the Hungarian composer, the members of this Romanian ensemble, neighbours of his birthplace, have won such major careershaping competitions as Osaka, the Wigmore Hall, and Hamburg. BartÃ³kâ??s attachment to the string quartet â?? as to no other genre â?? was to the keystone of the Viennese tradition, but with the aim of moving the medium out of its native city a little, into the countryside of alternative tonalities and rhythms. The six mature works he wrote are being revealed here with all the singular patterns, mixed modalities, bitterness, lamentations, and, at times, bright folk influences which they contain. - ARCADIA QUARTET

Arcadia's very first recording on Chandos, presenting what has been at the very heart of the Quartet's musical career and influences; the complete string quartets by Bartók.
