About
Compositions by Snétberger, Shostakovich, John Dowland and Samuel Barber. Snétberger’s In Memory of My People, dedicated to his Sinti and Roma forebears, is a powerful and spirited piece, both threnody and celebration.
Shostakovich’s Eighth String Quartet, also dedicated to the victims of war, is played with great sensitivity and feeling by the Keller musicians. Subtle arrangements of John Dowland find Snétberger with the Keller Quartett for I saw my lady weep and in duo with cellist László Fenyö for Flow, my tears.
The Keller Quartett address the yearning quality of Barber’s Molto adagio from his String Quartet, op.11, and Snétberger offers a glimmer of hope with the tender solo guitar piece Your Smile.
The concluding Rhapsody I, with Snétberger and string quintet, is a new arrangement of a radiant theme originally written by Ferenc for a film project about the Roma. In total: a very involving and gripping album. Recorded in December 2018, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
