A topic for string chamber music aficionados. Post here anything related.I, for one, need recommendations for lesser known trios, quartets, quintets, sextets etctets from the Gurnian Period (1750-1828). Thanks in advance for any help.
Florestan - I'm sure that you've seen this THREAD, already - dozens of composers listed from this period, and many already w/ their own threads - should be TONS of recommendations to sort out -
I will not be responsible for your financial downfall, so no recommendations from me!
Nothing wrong with that thread of course but I do not see Józef (Jozef) Elsner (Chopin's teacher) or Ignacy Feliks Dobrzyński (Dobrzynski, Chopin's colleague from Elsner's class) listed there. Acte Préalable have released some of their string chamber works. I often complain about the performances on AP but these are recorded by the Wilanów String Quartet and by Camerata Vistula - two excellent ensembles. And anyway, if you decide to buy and don't like them, I will be more than happy to supply my mailing address (so far I only have these as radio recordings). Another good performance but a slightly less interesting composer (Franciszek Lessel, Haydn's pupil):
Very much enjoying this CD of light, predominantly sunny romantic music:... even though I was originally going to wait for Harry's judgment before buying it!
You must have been asleep Brian! for a long time.Several times I reviewed this fine disc, and told everyone how good a follow up this was on their Schumann SQ recording.So absolutely recommended lads! Or are you pulling my leg huh?
