String Quartet in F minor World Premiere Recording
String Quartet No. 6 in D minor Op. 35
• On this second disc of the Stenhammar Quartet’s survey, these two late works frame a world première recording, that of the Quartet in F minor which Stenhammar completed in 1897, but withdrew after a successful first performance in 1898.
• The first modern performance of the Quartet in F minor took place in 2001. Now the Stenhammar Quartet is offering a wider audience the opportunity to judge for itself.
• The Guardian gave volume 1 5 stars, stating: ‘The performances, bristling with tension and lyrical beauty, are exceptional’
