Although it is assumed that this was out of consideration for the Soviet authorities, the work retains an intense narrative full of wry humor, shadows, and passion. Saariaho's \"Terra Memoria\" is dedicated to those who have passed away, and the composer says, \"We will continue to remember those who are no longer with us. Their lives are complete and nothing can be added to them. ...... The experiences we had with them, the different aspects of their personalities--some memories cling to our dreams, others we relive again, Others remain as vivid flashes that we can relive again.\"\n\n\n\nThe Amsterdam Dudok Quartet says, \"As a string quartet of the 21st century, we are constantly searching for the best way to explore the meaning of the music we play and reflect the music of the past with new meaning for contemporary audiences.\"The Guardian praised their \"supple, lively sound and careful sense of structure and detail. The ensemble takes its name from Willem Marinus Dudok (1884-1974), a prominent Dutch architect who loved music.\n\nTokyo M-Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51868431974689,"sku":"5065002228963","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5065002228963.jpg?v=1759230252","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ec\/products\/5065002228963","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
