Details: The Belgian Robert Groslot had made a name for himself as an outstanding pianist and excellent conductor before distinguishing himself more and more as a composer. In recent years, he has created an extensive oeuvre with playful ease, characterized by supreme mastery and originality and vacillating with mercury-like flexibility. Known as an exceptional master of effective orchestration, he proves that he does not need any outward means at all to captivate his audience, especially when it comes to the medium of the string quartet, and shows with his concentration on what is essential and the dynamics of deeply felt formal poetry that he worthily continues the long line of the immortal tradition of Western music as a truly cosmopolitan, great composer.
