Free Music Notes for B?la Bart?k: The Six String Quartets
Free Music Review: Compositions: Outstanding! Performance: Mixed.
Hit: 4 Stars
These are great pieces of music and the Juilliard Quartet performs the slow movements beautifully. The fast movements are accurate, but lacking impact. The recording quality is fairly good. Bela Bartok: The 6 String Quartets - Emerson String Quartet does a better job of the fast movements, but not as well on the slow movements. I would recommend the Hungarian String Quartet Bart?k: 6 String Quartets recording instead.
P.S. I saw the Juilliard String Quartet perform Bartok's 5th string quartet in 2005 and it was phenomenal. I'm just reviewing the recording here, not today's quartet!
B?la Bart?k: The Six String Quartets Poster
The Juilliard Quartet burst upon the international musical scene in the 1950s with a series of acclaimed performances of the six Bart?k string quartets. Five decades later they are still renowned for their performances of this music, and no one interested in this superb group can afford to pass up this set, digitally recorded in 1981 and now available at budget price. These quartets have been very frequently recorded over the years, but few more recent versions match the Juilliard in terms of both interpretive and technical excellence. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
