General Interest Special Arrangements - Piazzolla, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Dvoøák, Haydn, Gianne Record Label: ChallengeCountry Of Release: NLDYear Of Release: 2007Notes: Works By Piazzolla/Beethoven/ShostakovichA fascinating collection of transcriptions for string quartet of works by Haydn, Beethoven and Shostakovich programmed alongside original pieces by Piazzolla, Dvorak and Gianneo and performed with great flair and imagination by one of Holland's leading string ensembles, the Franciscus Quartet. As one of Holland's leading string quartets, the Franciscus Quartet enjoys international acclaim for its captivating, intense playing and its interesting choice of programs. The four musicians are all active members in the Dutch radio orchestras. The quartet has a busy concert agenda and is regularly aired on the radio. They have performed in prestigious halls such as the Kleine Zaal of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam (season 2001-2002, a Spanish evening with Boccherini, Arriaga, Turina and a Sunday Morning Concert with Bach, Haydn, Mendelssohn), Muziekcentrum Vredenburg, De Doelen and the Muziekcentrum of Eindhoven. In 1999 the quartet performed a concert with Jessye Norman in the Grote Zaal of the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with works of Chausson and Ellington. On invitation from the Bayerische Rundfunk, the Franciscus Quartet performed in Munich and they appeared for Sdwestfunk Baden-Baden in the Schwetzinger Festspiele in 2002. The quartet also toured to England and Lithuania, performing at festivals in Kaunas and Vilnius and to Curacao with appearances at the Tertulia Musikal Festival. While there they performed a series of 12 educational school concerts, exposing 2000 children to classical chamber music for the first time. The Franciscus Quartet has released eight CD's, the first of these in cooperation with the Dutch Radio AVRO.On this new CD, the Franciscus Quartet demonstrates that while being at home with the Viennese classics it is not afraid to make a brief foray into the passionate world of the Argentinian Tango. Though seemingly incongruous, a common thread runs through the compositions on this CD, none of them was originally conceived for string quartet. One would search in vain through most 'complete' box sets of Haydn, Beethoven and Shostakovich string quartets for the titles included on this CD. And yet in the case of Beethoven and Shostakovich, the composer himself made the arrangements, transforming earlier compositions with the full intention of creating worthy additions to the string quartet repertoire.
