Title: Prism III Artist: Danish String Quartet Label: Ecm Records Product Type: COMPACT DISCS UPC: 028948554171 Genre: Classical Artists Release Date: 2021-05-14 Number of Discs: 1
2021 release. Prism III shows how the radiance of Bach's fugues is refracted through Beethoven's quartets to illuminate the work of later composers. "Beethoven had taken a fundamentally linear development from Bach," the Danes note, "and exploded everything into myriads of different colours, directions and opportunities - much in the same way as a prism splits a beam of light." They follow the beam from Bach's Fugue in c-sharp minor through Beethoven's String Quartet No.14 to Bart¢k's String Quartet No.1.
