About

A new Genuin CD with the thrilling Asasello Quartet. It's the third disc released by the ensemble, known for its unconventional concert ideas, and it has now also made a name for itself as a prizewinner at international competitions. The programme features Schoenberg's amazingly diverse oeuvre for string quartet, and we can't imagine a more eloquent advocate for these too-rarely performed milestones of the repertoire. From the fringes of tonality in the First Quartet to the free-flowing twelve-tone language of the Fourth - an electrifying quartet sound played at a staggering level. Experience these soaring peaks of the repertoire!

Reviews

Arriving just a couple of months after Quatuor Diotima released their own box-set of the complete Schoenberg, Webern and Berg quartets, this is heartening – another group in the first flush of youth are prepared to defy the prevailing narrative about Schoenberg representing crusty academic modernism and, instead, make a powerful case that his music has everything to offer both head and heart.  Philip Clark
