In so doing, we committed ourselves for an unlimited period to the fascinating music of an assiduous and headstrong Hungarian. Béla Bartók, the composer who, in search of a new sound, sustained German romanticism while embracing the new concepts and styles emerging across Europe. Who, through his study of the folk music of very all countries in the Carpathian Basin – and later Turkey and North Africa too – incorporated its melodies in his work? Thus, Bartók sought to draw nearer to his ideal: the brotherhood of men.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eDuring these five years we compiled several programs featuring at least one of Bartók’s string quartets. We placed his music alongside other composers who migrated to America in ‘Fellow Travellers’, we performed folklore from all over the world in ‘Etnos’, and we focused on the ‘20s of the previous century and our own in ‘The Growl and the Flirt’. Our Bartók Pub Quiz drew the audience into his life and work, while for children we created the production ‘Krijg de Kleure’ [get the color].\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eBut the nucleus of Bartók Bound remained the same: the study and performance of all six quartets and their registration on these recordings. Bartók makes extreme demands on the player: staggering technique, rhythmic precision, and great dedication and single-mindedness to communicate his music to the listener. It gives enormous satisfaction to assimilate his self-created universe, to plumb the very depths of his musical language. This second album presents the fruits of this process.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eHas this now come to an end? Not as far as we are concerned. The significance of these six works for the development of the string quartet in the twentieth century is inestimable. The music is so rich and challenging, so indescribably beautiful and thrilling, that we can go on playing it for years to come. And we consider it proven that one can do justice to Bartók’s music in many ways - a conviction that we wish to continue to promote.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRagazze Quartet\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nRosa Arnold, Violin\r\nJeanita Vriens­van Tongeren, Violin\r\nAnnemijn Bergkotte, Viola\r\nRebecca Wise, Violoncello\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P_ff3hOYTXA","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528376644,"sku":"42421-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528409412,"sku":"42421-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528442180,"sku":"42421-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528474948,"sku":"42421-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528507716,"sku":"42421-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528540484,"sku":"42421-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528573252,"sku":"42421-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528606020,"sku":"42421-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528638788,"sku":"42421-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528671556,"sku":"42421-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739528704324,"sku":"42421-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739528737092,"sku":"42421-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57338778026308,"sku":"42421-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338778059076,"sku":"42421S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338778091844,"sku":"42421S1517","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338778124612,"sku":"42421S1617","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338778157380,"sku":"42421S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338778190148,"sku":"42421S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/42421.jpg?v=1778485115","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/42421-bartok-bound-vol-2-string-quartets-nos-3-5-6","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
