Description: This batch of short pieces for string quartet, all written by a group of composer-friends for Friday concerts in 1899 at the St. Petersburg home of the music publisher and philanthropist Mitrofan Belaieff, gets recorded once every decade or so and, since we didn’t offer the last one in 2006, we’re offering this one. Salon morsels from the great and famous and from the “Who’s-he”’s of the period. Szymanowski Quartet.
