String Quintet in F Major, WAB 112: I. Gemassigt - Hyperion Ensemble

HYPERION ENSEMBLE was founded in 1976 by the composer Iancu Dumitrescu.
As a starting point, Hyperion explored possible connections between the most archaic Romanian music - Byzantine music, folk music collected by Bartok, etc. - and today’s avant-garde music.
It is a tradition of performance, of interpreting each new score as a provocation of the spirit, and a quest for new domains of sound.
