20th Century masterpieces!



These quartets are considered by many to be the most important in their genre written in the 20th Century. To discover these six quartets is the most satisfying endeavour one can accomplish in all the music of the modern age. Incredible as it seems, these works are TONAL despite the dissonance one encounters. In my case it took quite a while before I came to terms with these great works but when I finally did, I was richly REWARDED! If inspired to purchase these works, I heartily recommend the complete recording done by the "Takacs Quartet" on the Decca label...they are absolutely amazing!
