Mozart (1756-1791)

Description:

Beauty of another dimension. The Chiaroscuro Quartet recorded Mozart's "King Prosha Set" on SACD Hybrid! Alina Ibragimova is one of the finest violinists of our time. Alina Ibragimova is not only a soloist, but also leads the Chiaroscuro Quartet, which is highly regarded as one of the best string quartets of our time. This highly anticipated album features Mozart's String Quartets Nos. 21-23, also known as the "King of Prussia Set"! These three quartets are said to have been composed at the request of King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia (Prussia): the melodious No. 21, No. 22 with its beautiful cello melody for the king who played the cello, and No. 24, which Einstein, a physicist and Mozart scholar, composed as "Mozart's Farewell to Haydn. The last of the string quartets, No. 23, which Einstein, a physicist and Mozart scholar, described as "Mozart's farewell to Haydn," is a masterpiece in which each of the string quartets stands out in its own right. The Chiaroscuro Quartet's seamless playing is in its element in this Mozart quartet. Their sharp, yet warm performance creates a one-of-a-kind world that can only be expressed by them. This is a new masterpiece of this collection. King International
