With serious string players this Latvian composer has long been recognized because of his sonorous tonal concepts and his modal, occasionally aleatoric idiom. Works like 'Cantabile per Archi' or 'Musica dolorosa' are already quite well-known, but newer pieces like the violin concerto with string orchestra 'Fernes Licht', commissioned by Gidon Kremer for his Kremerata Baltica, are also gaining wide international exposure. The genre of the string quartet is well represented in Vasks' output. The 2nd string quartet 'Summer Tunes' (ED 8512) has been published for some time and the 3rd was premiered by the Kronos Quartet who were so enthused that they commissioned a 4th quartet. In 1996, prompted by a complete recording of all his string quartets by the Miami String Quartet for Conifer Records Vasks totally revised his early 1st string quartet 1996, it is here presented for the first time in a printed edition.

String Quartet No.1 - 'Quartetto Breve' (1952) by Per Norgard. Programme note:  The spectrum of sound, the gesticulation - in short, the very nature of the strings - has always had a central place in my output, demonstrated by the numbers of string quartets, concertos with string soloist, chamber and solo works. The interest dates back to my school years, when I was fortunate to be able to compose for a cello-playing schoolmate and to accompany him on the piano. I discovered then the innumerable nuances of sound and playing varieties offered by just one bow, four strings and five fingers..  My first string quartet - Quartetto Breve - has a firm root in the Nordictradition and is strongly inspired by Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and my teacher Vagn Holmboe (1909-96).  Per Norgard (1998) .

String Quartet No. 5 consists of two contrasting movements. The first movement, being present, immediately leads to an atmosphere of high emotional tension. The prevailing atmospheric elements of the music are dramatic and passionate, alternating with each other like a kaleidoscope. In contrast to that, a second theme is intoned three times - an invitation, a memory of the existence of another world, a light-house which illuminates the twilight in which we live so often. But this invitation remains unheard. The first movement concludes with dissonances in the upper register - a cry of utter desperation.The second movement, so distant ... yet so near, is the calm, unhurried vocal section of the quartet. A forgiving, loving look at a world tortured by grief and contradictions. Gradually, the singing becomes more personal, more emotional and more dramatic. The rhythmic figure of a funeral march in the recapitulation of the second movement is a gesture of loss. Eventually, the quartet loses itself in an atmosphere of light-filled grief. Peteris Vask.

Zum Text Psalm 85 hat mich deshalb besonders beschäftigt, weil hier das Thema der Glaubenstradition angesprochen wird. Anders als im alten Israel können wir uns heute auf ein Vormals kaum oder gar nicht berufen. Trotzdem kann alle Zuversicht doch ist ja auch heute noch unsere Generation und zukünftige Generationen tragen. Ich schrieb meine Gedanken zu Psalm 85 ursprünglich für die Segnung eines neu geborenen Kindes und nahm sie dann in ein Buch zu den Wochenpsalmen des liturgischen Kalenders auf. (Hartmut Handt) Zur Komposition Die Uraufführung fand am 12. November 2006 in der ehemaligen Schlosskirche Schöneiche zu Beginn der Friedensdekade der Evangelischen Kirche statt. Ausführende waren Sara-Maria Kurczyk (Gesang) und das Deutsch-Polnische Jugendorchester Frankfurt an der Oder unter der Leitung von Zielona Gora.

Ein Divertimento im besten Sinn ist dieses Fruhwerk des spateren Dadaisten und Komponisten des Kommunistischen Manifests. Es verbindet bei nicht zu hohem Schwierigkeitsgrad Spielfreude und Klangsinnlichkeit der bohmischen Streichertradition. Besonders gelungen der vierte Satz: ein Wettstreit von Bratsche und erster Violine um den schoneren Romanzenton.

This type of piece is traditionally formed by a slow movement and a fas movement joined together. In this case the lento is light in feeling with a degree of dynamism. Its form is similar to an arch: the music begins and ends in silence.

The Allegro con brio, however, is ferocious, fast and energetic. It performance it is important to create an overall sensation of agility. The entire movement is based on a short two-measure motive which is developed and passes from one instrument to the other throughout the rest of the piece.

“In diesem Augenblick” (In This Moment) is the first work for string quartet by the Chinese composer Yang Lin, born in Beijing in 1982. The work was given its world premiere in November 2010 by the Amaryllis Quartet at the Laeizshalle in Hamburg. “In diesem Augenblick” is concerned with the brief moment between two events, comparable with the interval between two steps whilst walking: “This brief moment, this motion in detail that one does not usually notice, has been given a great deal of attention. But it does not mean that this moment stops. There remains a contradictory moment that remembers the tensions and vibrations of the past an, at the same time, awaits the peace of the future.” (Yang Lin).
