Shortly after his first successes as a concert pianist, Dohnányi brought out his First Quartet in 1899. It is a mature work, acknowledging the influence of Brahms whilst also adopting writing that hints strongly at Dohnányi’s own Hungarian origins. It ranges widely and expressively, including both hymnal and folk elements in a richly rewarding way. The Third Quartet of 1926 is more harmonically questing and structurally sophisticated, and filled with vibrant melodies. Of the Aviv Quartet’s previous Naxos recording (8570965 / Schulhoff) MusicWeb International wrote: ‘they sound simply fantastic… The playing is electric; no position is a weak link’. Dohnányi’s quartets move from late Romanticism to music tinged with a touch of expressionism via Zemlinsky. The Aviv String Quartet has been widely praised internationally in music of a similar vintage – for instance Schulhoff’s chamber music. “This is writing that conveys not very much but does so with civility. The youngish players, decently recorded in a Toronto church, supply warmth and a certain generalised cut and thrust” Gramophone Magazine, June 2012 “their phrasing is attractive, and they generally make a reasonable, if not compelling case for these works.” MusicWeb International, June 2012 | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Dohnanyi - Chamber Music III
A third volume from Praga Digitals, devoted to the chamber music of the Hungarian pianist-composer-conductor, Dohnanyi, illustrating the late blossoming of a neo-Germanic Romanticism combined with Magyar nationalism in the style of Brahms. A new tribute paid to a master who made the Hungarian musical scene and his younger colleagues Bartok, Kodaly and Weiner internationally famous between the wars. “The players respond spontaneously to the tight-knit Classical proportions of [No. 2], lending it a characterful and elegant persona...In the Third Quartet the centred intonation and bright-eyed approach readily demonstrate the change in Dohnanyi's style of writing.” International Record Review, October 2010 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
