Bacewicz: Complete String Quartet

As Witold Lutosławski observed, in the “rapidly changing artistic currents” of the times, “it was [Grażyna Bacewicz’s] music which helped create that atmosphere.” Ms. Bacewicz’s folk music infused First Quartet (1939) dates from her student days at the Paris Conservatoire. Exceptional polyphonic skill, intense emotion and playful, high spirits characterize her Third Quartet (1947). Both the Sixth and Seventh Quartets (1960/65) unite tradition with a strikingly effective and highly personal exploration of progressive contemporary techniques.
