Roman Statkowski string quartets on Dux

[Sharkkb8]

Statkowski's piano music and opera (Maria) have been favorably mentioned on this forum before, but now his 1st and 5th string quartets are due to arrive on 7 Feb, performed by the Camerata Quartet.  Don't see this yet on UK Amazon, but links to USA Amazon & Presto below.

The less than captivating (or grammatical ) blurb below....(likely just a slightly clumsy translation effort)

"....One of the artists who brought the greatest contribution to the development of the Polish music at the turn of the 20th century was undoubtedly Roman Statkowski. The fact that his music was received favorably is shown by, among others, the fact that although he would constantly adhere to the Romantic tradition and musical forms that did not go beyond canonical frames, his talent gained great affection of Karol Szymanowski, known for his rigorous attitude towards artists closely sympathizing with that aesthetics."

Thanks for the notice, Sharkkb8. What a pity there are no samples to listen to. I think this may be one to add to the 'must buy' list.

Parts of both qts are @ IMSLP I think, and a recording of quartet 5 is or was in our "download section" awhile back, a fine quartet- so...
