Description
This recording celebrates the hundredth birthday of Klaus Fischer-Dieskau.
He comes from a world-famous musical family; with him we associate the Hugo Distler Choir, which he founded in 1953 and directed until 1989.
Above all, however, it is the compositional oeuvre of 110 Opera that could interest posterity.
As part of this, the nine string quartets can be seen as stops in his compositional work. They go through all phases of its development, and the Ninth String Quartet was even given the title “Memories”.
It is obvious that Klaus Fischer-Dieskau chose this form as a kind of intimate musical diary in the earlier string quartets as well. He began to compose string quartet No. 1 while he was at the front during World War II.
String quartet No. 4 dates from 1978, with a further intensified devotion to counterpoint. The tonality is not given up, but is loosened up and developed further up to polytonality. At the same time, a striving for linear-polyphonic voice guidance becomes noticeable.
