About
Krzysztof Penderecki’s works for (string) quartet neatly encapsulate the composer’s stylistic breadth as they track the development of Poland’s most important modern composer throughout his sixty-year career. From the avant-garde rhythmical study that is Quartet No. 1, via an ode to Webern to the elder Penderecki’s neo-Romantic, Schubertian Clarinet Quartet, this collection comprises all his chamber music for three and four strings, even the early neo-Baroque outlier Three Pieces, adapted from his film score for the steamy 1964 movie The Saragossa Manuscript.

[The Meccore Quartet] sound both entirely at home with and viscerally challenged by this music...There is serious competition in the recording of a similar programme by the Silesian Quartet, but to prefer one to the other is, I suggest, invidious. Both should be in the library of any self-respecting Pendereckian.
