Toccata Classics' exploration of the music of Swiss composer Richard Flury (1896-1967) continues with this premiere recording of two more of his seven string quartets. Flury was himself a gifted violinist, and these works - written for his own enjoyment and for fellow musicians - follow the classical definition of the string quartet as a conversation between four equal partners, with Flury's many years of practical music-making producing quartet textures that are thoroughly idiomatic, even masterful. Both works speak a rich late-Romantic language, similar to that of composers such as Korngold, Schmidt and Zemlinsky, and encompass a pleasing range of emotions, from touching introspection to bucolic serenity.
