About
Gunter Raphael was an extremely versatile and fruitful composer. He left behind numerous symphonic works, solo concerts, oratorios (requiem), solo songs, sacred and secular choral music, organ works and a particularly extensive chamber music oeuvre. This seventh part of Gunter Raphael Edition offers an insight into Gunter Raphael's string quartet. The composer created ten works in this genre, but only released four of them for publication.
