About Eugen Suchoň's Piano Quartet

[eschiss1]

This early-ish work by Suchoň (1908-1993) has been revived a couple of times recently, at least twice- a May 2008 performance (scheduled to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth) with members of the Stamic Quartet (this, I suspect, is the one that was broadcast in 2011 and might still be available in "our archives") and more recently at the 2013 Indian Summer in Levoča festival (movement headings given on YouTube, btw, as

I. Allegro moderato -- II. Allegro molto -- III. Lento -- Allegro risoluto -- Andante sostenuto -- Allegro risoluto ; performers given there.)

Enjoy I hope...

The idiom's certainly late-romantic - a passionate piece indeed.
