ANTONIN DVORAK
QUATUOR TALICH
QUATUORS OP. 61 & 96 (2009)
320 KBPS

Here's a rendition of might very well be Dvorak's most celebrated chamber music composition. The 12th quatuor was written in 16 days while in the U.S.A., it displays a deep feeling of nostalgia and spirituality and was influenced by Dvorak meeting african-americans. The lullaby, at the end of the second movement, alone makes this fantastic piece of music a must hear.
As usually, the Quatuor Talich shines on these recordings.
