Digital Booklet
The Quatuor Voce travels to central Europe via the three works recorded here, written over a period of 20 years. Two of them allude to their composers' love lives: Bartók’s String Quartet No. 1 transposes an unhappy experience of love while Janáček’s quartet reflects his love for Kamila Stösslová and is a faithful mirror of emotions in all their spontaneous and constantly shifting authenticity. Schulhoff was one of the first Jewish composers to fall victim to the Nazi regime: an inventive and omnivorously curious virtuoso pianist, he performed both jazz and serial music. His 5 Pieces for String Quartet is a suite of dances in different styles.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
