Abstract:
In these distinctive quartets both Beethoven and Szymanowski's well-documented influences on composer Henryk Gorecki are apparent as well as his fascination with the folk cultures of Southern Poland. The Royal String Quartet, renowned for the championing of music from their homeland, display an astonishing range of color, finesse and attack in these intelligent interpretations.
