| |  | Schoenberg - Complete String QuartetsRecorded 1950-1952
Founded by the composer Robert Mann following the
inspiration of William Schuman, the Juilliard Quartet, made up
entirely of professors from the renowned New York school, was
to take centre stage in the history of 20th century musical
creativity.The first concert was given on 10th December 1946 before an audience that included Yehudi
Menuhin and Zoltán Kodály.The level of excellence and insatiable curiosity of the group soon became
something of a legend.The first American versions of Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 15 and Ainsi la Nuit by
Henri Dutilleux are also owed to the Juilliard Quartet, as well as world premières of over 60 other American
composers including Elliott Carter.
In 1950, the Juilliard Quartet performed Schoenberg's String Quartets in the presence of the composer himself.
"Our interpretation was wilder than Schoenberg had expected", explained Mann "and when we played
the first quartet for him he declared that it was a way of interpreting it that he had not imagined.We were
stunned. Schoenberg burst out laughing and added: 'But play it that way, it's good!'". “The performances date from 1950 to 1952, so the performers are the original Juilliard members. The recorded sound is not of the most refined, but the febrile passion and intelligence of the playing carry all before them. Schoenberg’s amazing, 42-minute, single-span Quartet No 1 is launched with a fury, and this opening theme is rarely absent from the texture; No 2 brings the still staggering textural surprise of a soprano (the limpid Uta Graf) in two of the movements; No 4 has a bizarre 12-tone catchiness.” Sunday Times, 25th May 2008 *** |

“The Prokofiev Sonatas with Ashkenazy share some of Heifetz's steel and fierce focus, yet with sweetness when needed. The Brahms Sonatas with Barenboim are warn-hearted, generous accounts.” BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2008 |
