FRANKEL: Complete string quartets

Nomos Quartet

CPO 999420

The cpo releases of Benjamin Frankel's symphonies have already been a sensation and have attracted increasing attention recently. Now cpo surprises with the fascination of the composer's Five String Quartets.No ordinary quartets await you on 2 CDs, but deeply moving pieces with penetrating character traits, fierce chromaticism and striking, passionate melodies

While the first four quartets date from the 1940s, the last quartet occupies a special position, not only because it was composed in the 1960s. It is a remarkable work full of exuberant melodic ideas, which in 1965 was performed by the young Amadeus Quartet not only in the concert hall but also on the radio.

Our interpreter is the Nomos Quartet, which has already distinguished itself in earlier cpo recordings by "sympathetic timbre and spirited, flexible playing" • (FonoForum).Frankel: String Quartet No. 1, Op. 14
