String Quartets Nos. 1 & 3

Album by Arnold Schönberg & Ilya Gringolts & Anahit Kurtikyan & Silvia Simionescu & Claudius Herrmann & Gringolts Quartet

String Quartets Nos. 1 & 3 is an album of chamber works by Arnold Schoenberg, presenting his String Quartet No. 1 (composed 1904–05) and String Quartet No. 3 (composed 1927). The pairing highlights the shift in Schoenberg's language from the late-Romantic, highly chromatic and expressionist writing of the First Quartet to the more advanced atonal and twelve-tone techniques evident in the Third Quartet, marking a key development in his move toward serialism and modernist chamber music.
