Free Music Notes for Schnittke: Complete String Quartets
Free Music Review: Grief
Hit: 5 Stars
This set has two short extra pieces, in addition to the four quartets. One of them is "Collected Songs Where Every Verse is Filled With Grief," which is apparently Kronos' title. The piece is their arrangement of the second movement of Schnittke's acappella Choir Concerto. I have no idea why they would call a single 8-minute piece "collected songs," but it certainly is filled with grief. In fact, I cannot think of another piece of music that conveys deeper grief. Yet, in the version of the Choir Concerto that I own, the chorus conveys spirituality rather than grief.
Schnittke: Complete String Quartets Poster
These quartets (and who else but the Kronos Quartet should record them) represent Schnittke at his polystylistic best. The Kronos Quartet captures the essence of Schnittke's multi-hued textures, but these are not friendly works. In fact, they are quite foreboding--but then so are the quartets of Shostakovich and Bart?k. This is a two-disc set that also includes the brief "Canon in Memory of I. Stravinsky" and Collected Songs. Schnittke's best music contains its own instruction manual. Listen long enough and you'll get it. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
