Free Music Review: Ah, the Italians!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Quartteto Italiano is easily my favorite string quartet. I have owned and enjoyed their complete Mozart and Beethoven sets of string quartets for many years. I was particularly pleased to find this two-disc set in the Philips Duo series of mid-price cds that includes Franz Schubert's last four quartets, because it has confirmed what I suspected even before I heard the recordings: the Italians are premier interpreters of that master composer's work as well! For me, the dramatic intensity they display in the "Death & the Maiden" is unsurpased; this is my favorite performance of the No. 14 quartet in D-minor. They are exceptional in the quartets Nos. 12,13 & 15 as well. The Philips sound is fine throughout, and at such an attractive price, this set is a real bargain. A must have for those who admire the Italian Quartet, as well as those who love the music of Schubert. Highly recommended!
Schubert: The Last Four Quartets Poster
Few quartets match this legendary Italian ensemble for tonal sheen and refinement. The ensemble imbues the famous variations movement of "Death and the Maiden" with a kind of choked inwardness that never dematerializes into bathos. One might wish the players to allow Schubert's extroverted moments their giddy head, rather than reigning things in. The group embarks upon the composer's other-worldly G Major Quartet with quiet, trembling tread, making you work with them as they divine the music's visionary beauties and dark truths. Listen to this performance in a quiet space, with the lights out. --Jed DistlerClassical Music CDs
