Résumé
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.
Instrumentation : string quartet

L'éditeur en parle
Der lettische Komponist gilt in Streicherkreisen schon länger als Geheimtipp wegen der sonoren Klangwelt seiner modalen, leicht von aleatorischen Elementen durchsetzten Schreibart. Bekannt sind Werke wie "Cantabile per Archi" oder "Musica dolorosa", neu das von Gidon Kremer bestellte Violinkonzert "Fernes Licht". Umfangreich ist inzwischen auch die Gattung Streichquartett vertreten. Besetzung : string quartet
