Many people believe that this is the best Polish string quartet ever. The Meccore Quartet has been greeted with enthusiastic reviews: “Chamber music at the highest level, thrilling and performed with gusto.” “Their interpretations are like sacred fire coming down from heaven.” For you, Meccore will play Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1 in G. A high-spirited, heart-warming work with lilting melodies and Norwegian dance rhythms. Also infamous for its many quasi-symphonic double stops, derived from the Hardanger fiddle. Polish compatriot Penderecki makes a sentimental journey back to his youth. Including a gypsy tune that his father once played for him on the fiddle. Finally, enjoy the blissful voice leading and breathtaking tension in Tchaikovsky’s Second Quartet. The composer himself regarded this as his best work. Judge for yourself!
