This is a further volume in the Artists in Conversation Edition where we have the opportunity to hear the compositions, the composer himself speaking about the music and experts discussing the works. Volume 1 of the series on Hartmann was an Editor’s Choice in the April issue of Gramophone. The interviews are in German.

Gramophone Magazine

May 2011

“anyone who leans towards Berg over Schoenberg (Webern purists need not apply) might find this music resonates in sympathy...The Doelen Quartet's performances are suitably robust”

International Record Review

May 2011

“the skill with which Apostel handles his freely atonal idiom and the virtuosity of his writing for the medium commands admiration...This music requires sensitivity as well as commitment, and there is no doubting the Doelen Quartet's ability to tease out the subtlest nuance alongside the keenest emotion.”
