Born into a Jewish family, he studied under Moscheles and others. After studying in Paris, he associated with Saint-Saëns and others, and later held a prominent position at the Berlin Academy of Arts. His String Quartet No. 4, composed in 1900, is a work that strikes an exquisite balance between pleasantly refined melodies and dramatic developments that evoke a sense of elation. His String Quintet No. 1 not only reveals direct influences from Brahms’s String Sextet—such as the syncopation in the thematic melodies—but also captivates with its beautiful, song-like melodies reminiscent of Rossini. Formed in Munich in 1998, the Diogenes Quartet performs a wide range of repertoire from the Classical to the contemporary periods. They are particularly highly regarded for their interpretations of Schubert’s works and have recently been focusing on recording the complete works of Gernheim. Quigle is a former principal violist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. A former member of the Casals Quartet, he is a virtuoso who currently serves as a professor at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52674649456929,"sku":"4589538831868","price":2421.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538831868.jpg?v=1778670895","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538831868","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
