A colorful album with "modern" works played by the marvelous Stolz Quartet: oboe, violin, viola, cello.
  • The Stolz Quartet was created by a dream, by the passionate conviction that it is possible to present classical music and contemporary music theatre in a way that creates a rich and beautiful experience for the listener, the spectator and the musicians; an experience that genuinely touches and links everyone present.
  • Within a strong musical Dutch scene, The Stolz Quartet is at the top concerning technique and musicality.
  • Best references, included by composers: Composer and conductor Oliver Knussen: “Last night I listened with increasing happiness and amazement to the best performance (in every way) of my Cantata that I have heard for years and years. Thank you all SO much. It is such a wonderful feeling to experience that uncanny understanding of what I meant without my presence at rehearsals!“
Contemporary works in a lively and touching interpretation.

The Quartet; oboe, violin, viola, cello, lean particularly to contemporary music. Along with their concerts, music-theater projects and CDs they are going to prove to the audience that contemporary music can be accepted and, above all, touches people. In many performances the quartet has already succeeded -  the audience was enthusiastic and many composers have written especially for the Quartet.

Their new recording already gathered well-known works such as the 4 Preludes of Alexander Scriabin and "Tombeau de Couperin" by Maurice Ravel, as well as works by Theo Verbey, Einar Einarsson Torfi, Klaas de Vries and Robert Zuidam.

A colorful album with so called "modern" works.
