Wellesz is another of these underrated composers (whom not many people have heard of). Yet his music is full of passion and deserves to be recognized ! He was always a strong believer in contrapuntal rather than harmonic tensions, and he mistrusted dissonance, because it is so transient. Thank you for posting these string quartets, which I hope will open the public's ears !
Hoch kultivierte und zugleich spannende Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Streichquartetts im gut phrasierten Tempo mit ein bisschen neue-sachlichen Töne aller Instrumente. Die intime und perfekt vereinigte Mitwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist echt bewundernswert. Einfach wunderschön!
Wellesz - at least at that time - kept a relationship with tonality which looks like what Schoenberg wrote a few years before. The musc is incredibly beautiful and expressive.
I've gone back to school to study composition and your posts of these beautiful works of unknown (at least to me) composers is proving to be a most welcome and unanticipated part of my education! thank you so much!
Egon Wellers, au moins à cette époque, a gardé une relation avec la tonalité qui ressemble à ce qu'Arnold Schoenberg avait écrit quelques années auparavant. La musique est incroyablement belle et expressive !
A plaintive, searching lyricism infuses this inspired, if conventional, quartet. It reminds me of Hindemith or perhaps Korngold, but there's no denying Wellesz' individual voice here. Its' extended finale seemed somewhat overlong on first hearing; listening with a more involved and careful ear would negate that difficulty, I' m sure.

c'est vraiment d'une beauté sensationnelle je viens de découvrir ce compositeur. Woah, c'est poignant, déchirant, tellement proche de l'homme.

First time I listened a composition by Wellesz, I may say that I enjoyed it a lot
This work is very beautiful.

Ken Turley Wgon Wellesz is just unknown to you
This Wellesz Theatre and Opus You Tube Contributor should for sure for the sake of discovering important lost or rarely known composers a Grammy!
this was wonderful. I'd never heard of Wellesz before, but I have no idea why not! beautifully written, played, recorded. thanks.

Intermittently stark (yet mildly so), but always very lyrical. Wow. Thank you TWT!
Hmm, well. Nice Sunday evening surprise finding this. Look into his WW2 detention, interesting story.

Maravilha!
nice
Why doesn't this have more views?

BRAVO! :)
Clues us in. What music of Egon Wellesz reflects his deep interest in the music of Byzantium, please?
I beg of you, please post the rest of the quartets. Nobody else has, only 3, 4 & 6.
There are no commercial recordings.
Damn
Damn indeed :( I'm waiting for #5 in particular :(

Indeed I follow Walex Wetchina´s request - please send Quartets 1, 2, 5 if possible.
Why aren't there any recordings of the last three Wellesz String Quartets, Nos.7, 8 & 9?
Most of the "underrated" composers I've found on TH-cam have been pretty mediocre, to be honest. Egon Wellesz is a distinct exception!
