The more I hear the music of Joseph Suk the more I love it. Starting with the Asrael symphony with its haunting theme appearing in different instrumentation. Then discovering many other pleasures
He didn't write much, but almost all of it is gold.
Three great one-movement quartets, fairly contemporaneous:
Schoenberg op. 7
Zemlinsky Quartet #2
Suk Quartet #2
Beautiful! Thank you for posting!
16:20 - 17:30 just knocks my damn socks off
