Gebel: String Quartets

Franz Xaver Gebels biographer Ernst Stöckl reported that while there were at least three Gebel string quartets, he was familiar with but one, the published Quartet in D major. Despite persistent research in Russian libraries, he was unable to find the others mentioned in contemporary discussions about concerts. Recently however, the sheet music for the Quartet in E-flat major, printed in Moscow around 1840, where Gebel spent the remainder of his life after 1817, was found in a German library. The Hoffmeister Quartet performs these rarely heard, little-known early-Romantic gems.

Carl Czerny: String Quarlets - Sheridan Ensemble

Known as a piano teacher, with whose works almost every piano pupil should be familiar and possibly also as a pupil of Beethoven, Carl Czerny enjoys practically no fame as a composer today. The composing maniac (round about 800 published works) acquired a great reputation (and wealth) from piano teaching and writing educational works for the piano and compositions the market expected from him and from which he earned a lot of money. At the moment, seven quartets are recorded, four of which were probably intended for publication. Czerny composed in the tradition of Haydn and Beethoven. Echoes o... [Read More]

There is an unexplored world of music for the string quartet that is perfectly suited as encore pieces. Whether they are movements from complete string quartets or independent pieces, there is much beautiful music worth exploring in this genre.Franz Joseph Haydn has been called the father of the string quartet, so it's fitting that the program opens with the charming Andante from his Quartet in F, Op. 3 no. 5. A more energetic side of the composer is also presented with the bouncy Rondo from his Quartet in C, Op. 33 no. 3. One composer not usually associated with chamber music is Giacomo Puccini. His 'Crisantemi' is an elegiac study in honor of the Duke of Savoy. The piece is eminently moving and beautifully performed by the Delmￃﾩ Quartet. Eastern European music is well represented with memorable quartet movements by Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Dvorak and Suk. Because of its breadth of repertoire, this is a perfect recording for chamber music neophytes and veterans alike.

This collection of chamber pieces prominently features Richard Festinger's jazz influences. The same ingenuity that made him a respected jazz performer gives his classical work a refreshing playfulness. Whereas so much contemporary composition can sound stilted and academic, Festinger has a soloist's flair for creating and releasing dramatic tension."Tapestries" starts off this album with some of Festinger's signature unpredictability. Nervous glissandos by violin and cello along with unusual cadence from the piano build the piece's energy, leading to a dramatic climax. The three movements are played without pause, adding to the unsettled excitement.Built upon the format's rich history, his String Quartet is influenced by the likes of Bartￃﾳk and Berg. Nevertheless, within the self-imposed constraints of the classical idiom, Festinger is able to push the boundaries. His sensibilities and aesthetic are center stage in this fascinating recording.
