Kalliwoda: 3 Quatuors A Cordes / Quatuor Talich

Joan Wenzel Kalliwoda (1801-1866) Three String Quartets Artistic Quality 10/10 Sound Quality David Hurwitz. Classics Today. As Maître de Chapelle and court composer, Kalliwoda's oeuvre includes all types of compositions. He wrote seven symphonies, many overtures and a number of concertos for solo instruments. His shorter works for keyboard and solo songs, both prolifically produced, reflected the growing demand for 'house music' in the nineteenth century. String Quartets were not often performed publicly in the early nineteenth century; they were not often performed publicly in the early nineteenth century; they were more often heard in the private sphere. There were two sorts of string quartet: the 'brilliant' and the 'classical', developed side by side, and corresponded exactly to the differences between the two venue types, the concert hall and the private setting. These quartets are 'non-concertant for the first violin, with the music nicely divided up among the instruments, not heavy for any of them, and in the beautiful style of Mozart".
