Dvorak / Fine Arts Quartet / Simonian- Spirit of Bohemia
AntonÃn Dvorák's music, imbued with the spirit of Bohemia, reflects a love of his native land. His String Sextet, written in the distinctive style which brought him international fame, was an immediate success at it's premiere. Composed just eight years earlier, his String Quartet No.4, unpublished until 1968, features pioneering, wild outer movements, highly unusual for the time, which foreshadowed the modernist innovations of composers decades later. A moving Andante religioso, which Dvorák made use of in future works, lies at it's heart. The Polonaise exploits both the soulful and virtuoso character of the cello. Volumes 1-8 are also available.

- String Quartet No. 4 In E Minor, B. 19: I. Assai Con Moto Ed Energico
