  • Description

    Short after the most successful album "Sound Escapes" (Capriccio C5239) the young and aspiring Signum Quartet take care of the Bohemian Music Culture. Beside the famous String Quartet Op. 106 by Antonín Dvo?ák ('I am very satisfied with everything I have accomplished in this quartet.') and the Meditation on the Old Czech Chorale 'St. Wenceslaus', full of impressions of the beginning of the 1st World War, by Josef Suk, are Erwin Schulhoff's Five Pieces for String Quartet, which all take on the virtuosic challenge of experimenting with dance forms. 'Music is never philosophy' (Erwin Schulhoff); this succinct statement conceals what was capable of so lastingly impressing Charles Burney already in his time: direct, and if possible, spontaneous expression in music.
