This album features two extremely interesting, rarely-performed string quartets.

Only in recent years has the output of the author of the former, Józef Wieniawski, become popular, thus coming out from the shadow of the achievements of his older brother, Henryk. The piece is of a Romantic, contrasting nature; it seduces us with a multitude of both lyrical and feisty motifs featuring Polish melodies, which are barely perceptible, but still present.

Bruckner's composition is a youthful work typical of late Austrian-German Romanticism, heralding the personal style of this great symphonist through, among others, a rich rhythmic and melodic texture and a dense polyphonic texture.

It is worth paying attention to the sound of the Viennese ensemble composed of musicians coming from different countries, referring to the legacy of the golden era of string quartets from the last quarter of the 20th century. The ensemble's interpretations are distinguished by a noble tone, Romantic phrases and technical virtuosity. The recording will charm every connoisseur of chamber music repertoire.
