Alexandre Tansman String QuartetAbout
As far as the style and aesthetics are concerned, his output is fully representative of the French variety of Neoclassicism in 20th-century music. [...] As far as Tansman's chamber compositions are concerned, which include less than thirty pieces for various ensembles, a prominent place is occupied by string quartets, considered by the composer himself the purest musical form: 'One cannot cheat in a quartet,' he used to say.
Tansman composed nine works representing the genre, and they were created over the span of forty years of his creative journey. The three compositions recorded on the album come from the early period, namely from 1925, 1930, and 1935. They are related both in style and expression and constitute the composer's bow to the almost two-centuries-old tradition of the genre.
These recordings were made in August and November 2021 in the Concert Hall of the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic - European Art Centre in Białystok.
