Description
Recognized by his contemporaries as a master, the Neue Musikalische Presse wrote of Fuchs, “He deserves an outstanding place in a gallery of the Viennese musicians of our times.� He was then at the height of his career and had gained renown above all with his finely emotional serenades. He was acclaimed primarily for his generous melodic lines – which are especially beautiful in the adagio of the third quartet.
It was not without reason that avant-gardists were his pupils: Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, and Hugo Wolff were among his students as well as Alexander von Zemlinsky, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Franz Schreker.
Now reissued, this double CD is available at the price of one.
