Adolf Busch & The Busch Quartet: The Complete Warner Recordings
Busch Quartet, with Adolf Busch (violin)
[ EMI Great Recordings of the Century / 16 CD Box Set ]
Release Date: Wednesday 4 November 2015
Celebrated for his unique style of phrasing and his belief that musical expression should be prized above technical showmanship, German violinist Adolf Busch was one of the first leading artists of his day to embrace the recording process, following the birth of the 78rpm disc. A rich and significant catalogue ensued: from solo and duo works to some of chamber music's most famous masterpieces, this special collection details the many parameters in the classics as laid down by Busch and his esteemed colleagues - interpretations which remain unsurpassed to this day.
