Penderecki: String Quartets; Clarinet Quartet; String Trio

Krzysztof Penderecki’s works for (string) quartet neatly encapsulate the stylistic breadth and trace the development of Poland’s most important modern composer throughout his six-decade-long career. This collection covers all his chamber music for three and four strings, even the early neo-baroque outlier of his Three Pieces adapted from his film music for The Saragossa Manuscript. (Capriccio)
