Korngold/ Eckardstein/ Alma Quartet - String Quartet No. 1 Op. 16 Piano Quintet Op. 15

Second and last volume of Krongold's complete String Quartets survey by the Alma Quartets. The disc contains the First Quartet (composed in 1923) and the Piano Quintet (1921). Music from Vienna raging Twenties in flawless performances by one of today leading string quartets. Ideal match between Alma Quartet and a specialist pianist as Severin von Eckardstein. Ritmo (SP) on first volume (CC 72869): The recording offered by Alma Quartet is the best available of these works for it's understanding of the expressive world of Korngold; is perfect intonation and reading of these difficult works.
