Pre-Order: Van Der Pals Quartet - Str Qrts Vol. 2 [CD]

Exquisite music between late Romanticism and Impressionism, which [...] definitely deserves to be heard." There is not much to add to the words of the reviewer who reported on the first part of these complete recordings for klassik-heute. Leopold van der Pals, the son of Danish-Dutch parents, grew up in Russia and spent his life searching for higher truths. His inspirations-Goethe the scientist and his spiritual successor Rudolf Steiner-and his own experiences led him to ever-new explorations of the possibilities of infinite metamorphosis to an all-encompassing state of being. The current release concludes his cycle of string quartets. A bonus track-the melodious, distinctive quintet for flute and strings, where the composer renounces all virtuoso pretensions in a particularly appealing way.
