Title: First recording of Rebecca Clarke's "Poem" for String Quartet
Product review: Clarke's beautiful work for string quartet, Poem, is included here in a sensitive reading. The work was later published as "Adagio."The Newsletter of the Rebecca Clarke Society ( rebeccaclarke dot org) includes a detailed review of the performance, Fall 2002.The entire CD is one of my favorites -- Fanny Hensel's String Quartet is a powerful work, and linking these "dead maidens" with Schubert's work is a viable connection -- they are are passionate, deeply felt pieces.
