Special offer. From Hungary To Taiwan
Formosa Quartet
An ingeniously programmed disc linking the folk traditions of countries 5000 miles apart, from spiky Bartók to doleful Wei-Chieh Lin. Nicely played, if a little too polite on the Hungarian front.

About
This imaginative recording project offers virtuoso treatment of folk music from Hungary and Taiwan, illuminating many aspects of the two cultures, all within beautifully rendered new classical compositions. In addition the recording incorporates arguably, the greatest masterpiece of 20th century string quartet music- Bartok's incandescent String Quartet No. 4. Winners of both the First Prize and Amadeus Prize at the London International String Competition, the Formosa Quartet was hailed as "spellbinding"by BBC Music Magazine.
