Adolf Reichel: String Quartets & piano piece

[Mark Thomas]

Light is slowly being shed on the life and music of that intriguingly obscure figure Adolf Reichel (see our thread on him here). I've added to our Downloads Board here three live recordings recently posted on YouTube: two pleasant but not very distinctive string quartets (one an early work judging by its opus number, the other from 1875) and a half-hour long piano work of much more strength and individuality.

I posted a recording of a symphony of his a few years ago, and it's still available in our Downloads Board here.
