Shostakovich / Prokofiev / Stravinsky

Description:

A one-shot recording made into a product! Korngold's quartet album made with extraordinary enthusiasmThe Alma String Quartet, formed in 2014, challenged Korngold's quartet with a one-shot "direct recording". It is a product without any editing and contains a thrilling and raw performance of a one-off recording. The String Quartet No. 2 (1933) is a Romantic music that Korngold could have written without being steeped in atonalism, and is filled with the image of Viennese music that echoes the music of Johann Strauss II and Richard Strauss. The String Quartet No. 3 (1945), on the other hand, is based on a theme he used in his film music, and has a darker atmosphere because it was written during the composer's own period of depression.
