Sonar Quartett - Katzer: String Quartets (2010)

Born in 1935 in Halberstedt / Silesia Georg Katzer is one of the most important composers of our time. Katz studied with Rudolf Wagner-Regency, Ruth Zechlin and was a master student of Hanns Eisler, and Leo Spies at the Berlin Academy of Arts. To date, Georg Katzer created a diverse oeuvre with more than 150 compositions. These include ballets, electronic music, chamber music, orchestral works and musical theater. In the catalog, there are also string quartets.
The NEOS is now a recording with the String Quartet Nos. 1, 3 and 4 released (hybrid SACD, playable on regular CD players), founded in 2006 interpreted by the sonar Quartet. The second string is missing, it was so far not been identified or otherwise released, was at times even missing. Maybe one day it will be submitted even though elements of the second string quartet are now incorporated into the fourth.
