About

All of these opera composers wrote at least one string quartet. Puccini’sCrisantemi’ is regarded as one of his earliest works. Verdi wrote his string quartet to pass the time during a trip to Naples.

Humperdinck’s String Quartet in C major is presented together with Wagner’s on this CD. After all, Humperdinck assisted Wagner for three years in Bayreuth and experienced the composition of Parsifal at close range.

Ruth Ziesak sings the soprano role in Respighi’s setting of the poem “Il Tramonto” by Shelley.
