For the first timeThe Schott String Quartet Seriesfeatures a collection of pieces that have been originally composed in a style unique to string quartet arrangements. Internationally-acclaimed Bollywood composer Pyarelal Sharma has provided music and songs for over 450 films. This set of string quartets, composed especially for Schott, is influenced by Indian film music, Indian folk, Arabic and light Indian classical music, thus combining the alluring sound of the East with the stability of a classic Western ensemble.
Another new feature that this volume has brought to the series is a special bonus CD containing performances of these charming pieces by leading members of theLondon Philharmonic Orchestra.
