There are those who believe that the composition of German music came to an abrupt end when the National Socialists seized power in January 1933, those who believe that every composer who did not leave the country was silenced by the state, and that the creation of German music -- aside from Orff -- simply ceased in the face of fascism. Karl Amadeus Hartmann was a composer who stayed in Germany and did not stop composing. Living in self-imposed internal exile in Bavaria, Hartmann made German music that was as much a part of its time as Beethoven's or Bach's was part of theirs. In his two string quartets from 1934 and 1945, Hartmann writes music that sounds like Webern tortured by conscience, Berg tormented by doubt, and Hindemith driven mad by the insanity around him. It's that honest and that good and, in this recording by the Vogler Quartet, that compelling. After a series of superb recordings for RCA in the '90s, the Vogler Quartet has returned with this passionate and profound recording on Nimbus. Along with Hanns Eisler's String Quartet from 1937, the Vogler performs Hartmann's heroically tragic music with whole-hearted compassion and tremendous technique, and its performances reveal the works as among the great artistic statements on the horrors of fascism. Nimbus' sound is clear, clean, and warm.
