Podcast #18 : KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI - A Life in Four Quartets

Krzysztof Penderecki: String Quartets, Trio and More

The whole stylistic world of Krzysztof Penderecki in just over 70 minutes sounds almost unbelievable — but that’s the total performing time of his works for string quartet, string trio, and related chamber forces. From the wild, uncompromising String Quartet No. 1 to the masterly String Trio and the later, more overtly lyrical works, these pieces trace the composer’s strikingly diverse stylistic journey.
