Reviewing the best classical albums of the year, the Boston Globe’s Jeremy Eichler names Chamber Works by Jerzy Fitelberg by ARC Ensemble (Artists of the Royal Conservatory of Canada) the “biggest surprise” of the year:
Thanks to the ARC Ensemble for retrieving another forgotten modern voice. In these premiere recordings, one discovers the piquant and surprisingly distinctive sound world of Fitelberg, showing once more how many worthy scores remain to be excavated from the rubble of a century.
The ARC Ensemble’s recent album includes Fitelberg’s String Quartet No. 2 (1928), which the ARC Ensemble performed in Pro Musica Hebraica’s Spring 2015 concert.
The recordings are available on Amazon.
