The Piano Quartet by much-admired Latvian composer Peteris Vasks is one of his longest and most imposing chamber works. Unfolding with inexorable expressive force, it utilizes dance-like motifs and folk-inflected themes throughout. The pieces by Lithuanian composer Arvydas Malcys form a cohesive sequence akin to a three-movement piano quartet in which specific sound effects, emotional power and colorful textures are in perfect alignment. The Ippolitov-Ivanov Piano Quartet [Irina Grayfer (piano), Elena Ivanova (violin), Olga Kogan (viola), Sergey Ananich (violoncello)] is nowadays considered one of the premiere young chamber ensembles of Moscow. Its members all received post-graduate education at the Moscow Conservatory under the guidance of Prof. Bonduriansky.
