Bartók Tátrai String Quartet - String Quartets First Quartet Op 7 Second Quartet Op 17
Review by Eric Wallace
The Bartók Tátrai String Quartet's album, String Quartets First Quartet Op 7 Second Quartet Op 17, is a stunning display of the quartet's mastery of Bartók's challenging compositions. The quartet's attention to detail and technical precision is evident throughout the album, particularly in the Second Quartet Op 17, which is widely regarded as one of Bartók's most complex works.
The quartet's interpretation of the First Quartet Op 7 is equally impressive, highlighting the work's haunting melodies and intricate harmonies. The quartet's use of dynamics and phrasing adds depth and emotion to the already powerful piece.

About Bartók Tátrai String Quartet
Born: 1881-03-25 (Nagyszentmiklós, Magyar Királyság).
Died: September 26, 1945 (New York, New York, United States).
Béla Viktor János Bartók was a Hungarian composer, pianist, ethnomusicologist and collector of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk music (born 25/03/1881 in Nagyszentmiklós, today Sânnicolau Mare, Romania - died 25/09/1945 in New York, U.S.A).
He is considered one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century; his vast production reveals a daring and restless harmonic instinct that is affected by his passionate studies on Hungarian folk songs. Typical elements of Béla Bartók style (derived from Hungarian, Transylvanian and Romanian folklore) consists in the use of irregular rhythms and a clear preference for obsessive rhythms. His compositions have sonorities, sometimes abstract, but often harsh, rough and barbaric.
Married to the pianist . His 2nd son, became a recording engineer.
