Silesian QuartetAbout
Initially, the String Quartet no.6 had a promising reception. However, the Sixth Quartet proved to be an unlucky work for Weinberg, and it was probably not until 24 January 2007 in Manchester that the piece was heard by an audience for the first time, performed by Quatuor Danel.
Weinberg briefly returned to quartet format in the autumn of 1950 when he wrote his Improvisation and Romance (Adagio – Andante). The first ever performance of Improvisation and Romance that we know of only took place in 2018 (Quatuor Danel, Lucerne). Featured in this album, the piece is not only related in its character to String Quartet no.5 but it also crowns Mieczysław Weinberg’s complete string quartets recorded by the Silesian Quartet – like an unpretentious encore after a successful concert.
