Emánuel Moór: Music For Viola
) | Label: TOCCATA CLASSICS Catalog: TOCC0650 Format: COMPACT DISC Rosenstein String Quartet; Ball, David L.; Antál, Mátyás; Hegemann, Dirk; Anima Musicæ Chamber OrchestraThe works of Emanuel Moór (1863–1931) ought to be celebrated as among the major achievements of Romantic music, but because of Moór’s peripatetic life – he was born in Hungary, studied in Vienna (with Bruckner), performed in the US and across Europe, became a UK citizen and settled and died in Switzerland – no country has claimed and promoted him to the degree he deserves. Moór’s musical language offers a deeply satisfying blend of contrapuntal mastery and ardent lyricism, as the works on this album – written for or involving the viola – demonstrate. In time he will be recognized as one of the masters of his age.  Price: $29.98 |
