| Description: | Recognized as a major influential figure in contemporary jazz and the avant-garde, the American composer John Zorn is characterized by his refusal of stereotypes and his radical musical experiments. His chamber music is the focus of the latest recording by the award-winning Molinari Quartet. â??It is with great enthusiasm that we dive into the fantastic and fascinating world of John Zorn. His music is powerful, emotional, and colorfulâ?, says Olga Ranzenhofer, first violin.
The ensemble has selected four of Zornâ??s chamber works for this recording: cat oâ?? nine tails, the dead man, memento mori and kol nidre. The Molinari Quartet has established itself as one of Canadaâ??s leading string quartets and has received nineteen Opus Prizes from the Quebec Music Council in recognition of its musical excellence. Critics describe the Molinari Quartet as an â??essentialâ? and â??prodigiousâ? ensemble, even â??Canadaâ??s answer to the Kronos or Arditti Quartet.â?
The Molinari Quartetâ??s recordings on the ATMA Classique label include the complete quartets of Schafer, Schnittke, Kurtág, and Gubaidulina. These albums have received international critical acclaim including two Editorsâ?? Choices by Gramophone magazine and rave reviews from The Strad, Fanfare, and Diapason, among others. The Molinariâ??s recording of the complete Kurtág quartets received a 2016 Diapason dâ??Or and the 2017 Echo Klassik award for 20th and 21st century chamber music. - |
