) | Label: NCL Catalog: 8574495 Format: COMPACT DISC Szymanski, Wawrzyniec; Odvody, Maria; Fiore, Francesca; Kostadinov, Radenko; Jeska, Filip; Archos QuartetThe second volume of Leone Sinigaglia’s music for string quartet (Volume 1 is on 8.574183) explores a series of generally shorter pieces for the medium. These deeply expressive works, such as the yearning Romanzafor string quartet and horn, combine compositional rigour with a flowing Italianate lyricism nurtured in the years 1888-89. Also included are the String Trio in A major, which evokes the world of the Baroque through its Bachian counterpoint, and the Trio-Serenata, fusing elysian beauty with joyful elegance. All but one of these pieces are world premiere recordings, many of which are played from the composer’s original manuscripts.  Price: $21.98 |
