A virtuoso work for an increasingly popular instrumental combination, the title (after Van Gogh's visionary painting The Starry Night) gives a sense of the intensity of this music. Personal memories of Africa are recalled and in particular the sound of music and dancing both near and in the distance all taking place under the vivid starry night sky.Van Gogh's visionary painting The Starry Night provides the title, if not the stimulus, for this music. Rather, personal memories of Africa are recalled and in particular the sound of music and dancing both near and in the distance all taking place under the vivid starry night sky. So this music is dance music and maybe it tries to emulate the dancing of Van Gogh's gigantic stars. Steve Martland.

This piece reflects Janácek’s memories of childhood and youth in his native Hukvaldy and the Augustinian Abbey in Brno. Kryštof Maratka, a Czech composer resident in France and a great admirer of Janácek, has arranged the original version to produce a welcome addition to the string quartet repertoire.Youth for wind sextet, is a masterpiece from Janácek’s late period (1924). Maratka has successfully managed to transform the concise winds’ sound that give this work its unique flavour into the timbre of the strings, thereby creating a “third string quartet†of the composer.

Tiina Myllärinen's (b. 1979) (Bad) Dreams come true for strings quartet (2022) was composed when war broke out in Europe. The composer tells: The shock, and the daily news barrage of battles could not help making an impression on my work and its material. I wondered what dreams and plans people had in Ukraine before the war, and how everything became a nightmare in a single night. Terror, fear and tension found their way into the work, along with memories of life in the past and dreams of a different future. The work is dedicated to the people of Ukraine; to the dreams that will hopefully soon come true.This product includes the full score and a set of parts.Tiina Myllärinen’s music has been described as cheerfully inquisitive, vigorous and original. Her works include Squarcio for ensemble, the orchestral what? (2010) and Traces (2013, commissioned by the Pro Musica Foundation and premiered at the Helsinki Music Centre on 5 June 2014) and Three Songs for voice, guitar and cello (2007).

Composed in 2012, Musikphantome for string quartet was awarded first prize in the 2015 Malta International Composition Competition (Valletta, Malta). From the composer: Musikphantome is a term used by Christoph Ruths and can be translated as phantoms of music or musical ghosts. The germinal idea of the piece was to transfigure from psychic imagery to a musical language a recollection of memories which involuntarily kept appearing in my mind. These ghosts manifested themselves in groups conformed by individual abstract figures, each group with distinct characteristics, forms, colors, textures, and essences. Somehow, I managed to explore and ultimately externalize these ghosts by making way for them through a very intuitive compositional process..

Mental pictures inspired by the surrounding and the poet Emily Dickinson's verses are often tinged with Nieminen's works. Nieminen describes his second quartet, as follows: The quartet was created out of the need to describe childhood memories and in distinction to polar nights. The conception of time is present in both of them. Mental pictures turning to the past and the stillness of polar nights in the darkness of which time goes and the amount of light increases without noticing it..
