Shortly after his first successes as a concert pianist, Dohnanyi brought out his First Quartet in 1899.
It is a mature work, acknowledging the influence of Brahms whilst also adopting writing that hints
strongly at Dohnanyi's own Hungarian origins. It ranges widely and expressively, including both
hymnal and folk elements in a richly rewarding way. The Third Quartet of 1926 is more harmonically
questing and structurally sophisticated, and filled with vibrant melodies. Of the Aviv Quartet's
previous Naxos recording (8.570965 / Schulhoff) MusicWeb International wrote: 'they sound simply
fantastic
The playing is electric; no position is a weak link'.
