UPDATE: The recording is 6:13 long. The sound (music) actually ends about 15 seconds before the recording does. I suppose that is the way that it is supposed to be (yes, I'm paranoid, because of all of the issues that we've had with free music downloads in the last couple of months. ha). Otherwise, it sounds great!
Here's a new
free classical music download from Classical-music.com.
It's Allegretto from Mozart's 'Prussian' String Quartet in D.
Description/blurb:
This week's free download is the Alegretto [sic]
from Mozart's 'Prussian' String Quartet in D. It is performed by comes the winners of the BBC Music Magazine Newcomer Award, the Schumann Quartet, and comes from their 2015 disc of quartets by Mozart, Verdi and Ives.
The quartet is a family affair. Erik, Ken and Mark Schumann are joined by Estonian violist Liisa Randalau. 'I could tell within five minutes that we'd get on' she told us. 'I never felt I had to break into a magic circle! If anything, it's more open and direct because they know each other so well.' (BBC Music Magazine, May 2016).
If you are logged in at Classical-music.com, click on the red "download now" button superimposed on the thumbnail of the cover of the album at
this webpage. That will (should) start a download of the track to your hard drive. Once that has completed, open and enjoy!
I'm listening to the track right now. If I detect any sound issues, I'll post that information. No news is good news.
