The Sound of Quatuor à cordes

“The Sound of Quatuor à cordes” is a wide-ranging collection that captures the depth and variety of classical chamber music, specifically through the lens of the string quartet. It includes cornerstone works like Ravel’s luminous String Quartet M. 35, Schubert’s dramatic “Death and the Maiden,” and Beethoven’s emotionally charged late quartets. The playlist also features introspective movements like Barber’s Adagio from Op. 11 and Dvořák’s lyrical “American” Quartet.

Alongside these classical mainstays, there's a selection of lesser-known gems and modern additions—from Glass’s minimalist “King Lear” to Piazzolla’s tango-infused ballet and Ligeti’s meticulously precise textures. Performances by renowned ensembles such as Quatuor Ébène, Quatuor Modigliani, and Quatuor Arpeggione offer a range of interpretations, making this a thoughtfully curated mix for listeners interested in the evolving sound and form of the string quartet through time.
