Glière String Quartet - Wieniawski, Bruckner: String Quartets (2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

The album contains two extremely interesting, rarely performed string quartets. The work of the author of the first one, Józef Wieniawski, has only been gaining popularity in recent years, coming out of the shadow of the achievements of the composer's older brother, Henryk. The song has a romantic character, full of contrasts, it seduces with a multitude of lyrical and bold motifs with a barely perceptible but present Polish melody. Bruckner's composition is a youthful work typical of late Austrian-German romanticism, which foreshadows the personal style of the later great symphonist, manifested, among others, by in a rich rhythmic and melodic texture and dense polyphonies. The sound of the international Viennese ensemble is noteworthy, referring to the legacy of the golden era of string quartets from the last quarter of the 20th century. A noble tone, romantic phrasing and technical virtuosity are the hallmarks of these imaginative interpretations. The recording will charm every connoisseur of chamber repertoire.
