Colla Parte Quartet- Flury: Chamber Music, Vol. 2
SKU: 5060113447173
The exploration of the music of the Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896-1967) on Toccata Classics continues with this first recording of two more of his seven string quartets. Flury was himself a gifted violinist, and these works - written for personal pleasure and for musician friends - observe the classic definition of the string quartet as a conversation between four equal partners, with Flury's many years of practical music-making producing quartet-textures that are thoroughly idiomatic, even masterly. Both works speak a rich late-Romantic language similar to that of composers such as Korngold, Schmidt and Zemlinsky and encompass a gratifying range of emotions, from touching introspection to bucolic cheer.
