Quatuor Molinari - Cat O'Nine Tails / Dead Man / Memento Mori (CD)

Facts Recognized as a major influential figure in contemporary jazz and the avant-garde, the American composer John Zorn is characterized by his refusal of stereotypes and his radical musical experiments. His chamber music is the focus of the latest recording by the award-winning Molinari Quartet. "It is with great enthusiasm that we dive into the fantastic and fascinating world of John Zorn. His music is powerful, emotional, and colorful", says Olga Ranzenhofer, first violin. The ensemble has selected four of Zorn's chamber works for this recording: cat o' nine tails, the dead man, memento mori and kol nidre.
