Historic recordings (1947 & 1951) of string quartet built from members of Toscanni's fabled NBC Symphony Orchestra. They paved the way for other professional chamber ensembles in the US, but disbanded in 1954 to pursue individual careers. Clarinetist Alfred Gallodoro (1-4) also came from the NBC SO. 1. 8:58 Quiet opening, building up, then softening. 2. 11:20 Slow summer day with some fanciful daydreaming. 3. 4:15 Squarish opening becomes syncopated scherzo. 4. 8:08 Brooding conclusion. "Hoffmeister" nickname after Mozart patron. 5. 6:20 Jaunty. 6. 3:04 Dancey minuet. 7. 8:44 Violin in opera aria style, accompanied by others. 8. 6:17 Vigorous rondo with rapid ostinati. "Prussian #1" after cellist King of Prussia Friedrich Wilhelm II. 9. 7:16 Convivial coffee klatsch. 10. 4:43 Spacious and sonorous. 11. 5:15 Prancey minuet. 12. 5:26 Rondo racing to the end. | ||
