Description
“There are quite a few 20th century works written especially for cello quartet but most of them are unknown to the public… The four young cellists, all alumni of Berlin’s two music academies, have made it their mission to change this by bringing little known works to the public through this CD with an interesting result… The young quartet from Berlin is thoroughly convincing because of its highly committed, spirited playing and its fine and pure intonation. This recording fulfills every desire…”
