  • Description

    Karol Szymanowski numbers among the genuinely great sound magicians, which is why it is unfortunate that his multicolored, shimmering music schooled on Strauss and Wagner is not more frequently performed.

    One of the first recordings that the renowned Carmina Quartet made for DENON in 1991 gives this Polish composer his proper due. Together with Szymanowski's violin sonata and its model by César Franck, performed by Chee-Yun and Akira Eguchi, these benchmark interpretations are now once again available – thanks to cooperation with MDG.
