Overview
Formal symmetry and thematic consistency governthe elemental power of Bartók’s Fourth StringQuartet, written in the summer of 1928.
The DoricString Quartet, described by Gramophone as ‘one ofthe finest young string quartets’, pairs the Hungariancomposer’s complex creation with Debussy’s earlyG minor Quartet, a work that ditched the rulebookin search of expressive freedom.
