Onslow. String Quartets. Quatuor Ruggieri
Label: Aparté Catalog: AP 105 Format: CD Quatuor RuggieriOnslow: String Quartets George Onslow (1784–1853) was a French composer of English descent. His wealth, position and personal tastes allowed him to pursue a path unfamiliar to most of his French contemporaries – one that was closer to that of German romantic composers. His principal output was chamber music and Onslow’s efforts expanded the audience for a genre that was not popular in Paris at the time. Amongst the many works he wrote, his String Quartets stand out for their unique spirit of invention. This recording by the Quatuor Ruggieri bring out both the intelligence and Parisian charm of these unjustly neglected works. Price: $23.98 |
