UPC: 4006408105114
Overview
This Capriccio release brings together three milestone quartet works: Alban Berg’s String Quartet, Op. 3, Leoš Janáček’s intensely personal String Quartet No. 2 “Intimate Letters”, and Henri Dutilleux’s atmospheric Ainsi la nuit. Recorded by the Petersen Quartett for Funkhaus Berlin/ZDF Kultur (Berg/Janáček) and licensed through MDR/NDR/ORB/SFB (Dutilleux), this 1994 digital stereo album captures the ensemble’s nuanced interplay and the composers’ unique voices across early 20th-century modernism and late-century expressionism.
