While well known in Japan for their complete Beethoven cycle and other works, there are few CDs available, so this complete cycle will be a welcome addition. The string quartets by Bartók are masterpieces that occupy a central place in the classical music works of the 20th century. Not only is it a milestone in the history of quartet music, but like the works of Haydn and Beethoven, it remained a major form throughout the composer's life, and the complete string quartets provide a complete picture of Bartók's art. The first is a mixture of influences from various composers (notably R. Strauss and Debussy). No. 2 is more introspective. On the other hand, Nos. 3 and 4 are the most difficult of the six pieces.While No. 5 is familiar, No. 6 is filled with the fear and resignation of the approaching World War II. These six masterpieces reveal the true value of the breadth and depth of Bartók's creative activity throughout his life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46064447095073,"sku":"4945604575430","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604575430.jpg?v=1691121298","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604575430","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
