String Quartet

Album by Witold Lutosławski & Kronos Quartet

String Quartet is a chamber work by Polish composer Witold Lutosławski, composed in 1964. The piece showcases Lutosławski's emerging use of controlled aleatoric techniques alongside dense contrapuntal textures and shifting harmonic colours, representing a pivotal move from his earlier neoclassical and folk-influenced writing toward a more experimental modernist language.
First released: 16th January 1991
