String Quartets

Album by Claude Debussy & Maurice Ravel & Vlachovo kvarteto

The String Quartet is the sole string-quartet composition by French composer Claude Debussy, written and first performed in 1893. The work fuses late-Romantic harmonic colour with impressionistic textures, employing modal inflections, chromatic voice-leading and innovative rhythmic interplay that signalled a departure from conservative French academic practices and influenced subsequent chamber music.
First released: 1963
