ÒShapiro
is an absolute dynamo in these archival recordings of Stravinsky and Foss. The
former student of Efrem Zimbalist digs in with such verve that the music gains
an extra infectious aura.Ó
Gramophone, March 2007 ÒThe Duo Concertant (1931) and the Divertimento (from
Le baiser de la fŽe) are both prime StravinskyÉthis [recording] feels both
authentic and sincere.Ó International Record Review, January
2007 ÒLukas FossÕ warm and inviting First String Quartet was written in 1947
when he was just 23. It would be impressive for a composer of any age. The
American Art Quartet bestow on it their collective love.Ó
International Record Review, January 2007 ÒThe works on the present
disc have more melodic concentration in common than you may at first have
guessed. The Foss demands to be heard. The Stravinsky pieces show the composer
as passionate and engaging at a more human level than was his wont in later
years.Ó Musicweb UPC 009414783622 ORDER NOW
