Franciscus QuartetAbout
On this new CD, the Franciscus Quartet demonstrates that while being at home with the Viennese classics it is not afraid to make a brief foray into the passionate world of the Argentinian Tango. Though seemingly incongruous, a common thread runs through the compositions on this CD - none of them was originally conceived for string quartet.
One would search in vain through most ‘complete’ box sets of Haydn, Beethoven and Shostakovich string quartets for the titles included on this CD. And yet, in the case of Beethoven and Shostakovich, the composer himself made the arrangements, transforming earlier compositions with the full intention of creating worthy additions to the string quartet repertoire.
