Coldplay\'s mega-hit has a prominent string orchestra as part of the its unique sound captured perfectly in this performance version by Larry Moore. Students love to play current hits that have an orchestral sound mixed with the cutting-edge groove of one of their favourite bands.

Par SENFTER JOHANNA. The composer Johanna Senfter (1879 1961) from Oppenheim concerned herself with chamber music for strings all her life, even studied violin in Frankfurt herself. Max Reger then gave her lessons in Leipzig, first privately, then in his composition class at the conservatoire and valued her 'extraordinary compositional talent'. The strict teacher more and more became a committed promoter of the works by Johanna Senfter. For a period of 50 years, the composer concerned herself with the string quartet genre, from Quartet No. 1 in D minor Op. 4, composed shortly after the turn of the century, to the sixth and last Quartet in C minor Op. 115 which was performed for the first time in 1960, one year before her death. The Quartet in F sharp minor Op. 28 is her second quartet which was premiered in Darmstadt on 5 November 1922. In this work, as in later works, Senfter combined traditional form models – here Baroque movements like gavotte, saraband, gigue – with expressive, late Romantic musical language. The work, consisting of six short movements, may without doubt be regarded as a valuable addition to the quartet repertoire./ Répertoire / 2 Violons, Alto et Violoncelle

Il a sélectionné trois chansons incontournables d\'ABBA comme prédestinées à être jouées sur des cordes. Un vrai régal auditif à savourer en toutes circonstances ! / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Olga Neuwirths Streichquartett entstanden 2009 ist eine Hommage an den US-amerikanischen Künstler Henry Darger und dessen erst posthum entdecktes reich illustriertes gleichnamiges Buchmanuskript. Diese Überfülle von Ideen bindet Neuwirth in kurzen schlaglichtartig kontrastierenden Sätzen in denen sich fragile Texturen überlagern. Neuwirths dritte Auseinandersetzung mit der Gattung Streichquartett wurde 2010 vom Arditti Quartet in Paris uraufgeführt.

Sir Arthur Bliss (1891-1975) was a British composer and conductor. He studied under Wood and Stanford at Cambridge and the Royal College of Music where he met and drew inspiration from Vaughan Williams Holst Howells and Goossens. He was appointed Master of the Queen’s Music in 1953 and wrote music for many state occasions including the Coronation and the Funeral of Winston Churchill. The String Quartet No.1 in Bb Major was first published in 1941. It was actually the third String Quartet Bliss composed but the first two were early works which he withdrew or lost. It was written in America in 1940 and first performed inBerkeley California; it became the last work he wrote before he returned to Britain to help the war effort.
