Zillacus Quartet Present Collaborative Masterworks

The Zilliacus Quartet has a warm, clear ensemble sound. They bring out the emotional content of this music, but never to excess.

#ClassicsaDay #Curseofthe9th Week 4

Beethoven died after writing his 9th symphony. But did that start a curse, dooming future composers to die after their 9th? Hardly.

Violin Concertos by Johannes Brahms; Amanda Maier; Julius Rontgen

Bottom line: don't get this for the Brahms. Do get this release for the Rontgen, and more especially for the Maier. It's worth it.

Rontgen Piano Concertos - originality in traditional forms

Pianist Oliver Triend plays with enthusiasm. Röntgen loved to perform, and Triendl conveys that feeling effectively. Plus he has the chops to handle all of Röntgen's technical challenges.
