This is the new recording that chamber music fans have been waiting for so long. Three years after Brahms, the Belcea Quartet returns with a new lineup: Suyeon Kang, the new second violin, has been part of the quartet since 2023. Now the Belcea Quartet presents a new recording of the Debussy Quartet - which they had already recorded on their very first album 25 years ago - and two quartets by Karol Szymanowski, a composer who is particularly close to their hearts and who cultivates a unique and instantly recognizable musical language. The first quartet was composed in 1917, but the Russian Revolution intervened and the premiere took place only in 1924. Szymanowski - then a world-famous composer and a leading figure in the reconstruction of musical life in the young Polish Republic - wrote his second quartet in 1927, ten years after the first. It premiered in Warsaw two years later.
