Fanfare:
Once in a while, we encounter recordings that—for lack of proper advocacy—are doomed to exist in the musical backwater. Their artistic merit is unquestionably beyond reproach and their sound quality is far in excess of the norm. This is one such recording…
…There is not as much as a hint of sloppiness here, or lack of attention to any detail. Every aspect of these quartets has been covered with the musical equivalent of a fine-tooth comb, resulting in readings that crackle with energy and immediacy that screams for the listener’s undivided attention. Eloquently and fervently prosecuted, the performances offered by Bart van Oort and his colleagues exude bounding pulse and crystalline articulation, not to mention an exceptional sense of soul and virtuosity. In short, these are exceptionally memorable and elevated interpretations that are capable of coexisting with the crème de la crème, including the fabled recording on Columbia with George Szell and members of the Budapest String Quartet. - Michael Carter
