Intimate Letters

埃默森四重奏组演奏亚纳切克 马蒂努弦乐四重奏。 When the Emerson String Quartet releases an album, one’s expectation of excellence isn’t met – it’s exceeded. The Emersons’ way with Czech chamber music on this new recording further burnishes a lustrous reputation. The Emersons perform with the same benchmark intensity, integrity, energy, and commitment demonstrated since its formation in 1976. It now brings these qualities to the first two of Janácek’s String Quartets and 3 Madrigals for violin and viola by Martinu. Intimate Letters (Quartet no. 2) is based on Janácek’s letters to his muse, Kamila Stösslová, whom he promised that “our life is going to be in it”.
