Free Music Review: I might be giving it 4 stars, but buy it anyway!
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a very good pair of CDs, probably very faithful to the intent of the composer, and extremely well played except... The quartet goes into a bit of a funk during Quartet Four and most of Five. For example, Movement 1 of quartet 5 is titled "Vivement": "Lively". It is played, however, barely faster than the "Modere" movements, and without any more life.
By the time they get to the second "Modere" movement of Quartet 5, and especially the "Pas Vite" (movement 5) though, they're back in gear. I think that these two Quartets must have been played at the end of a long day, or a long week. Or maybe it's just that any team has a hard time being completely "on" 100% of the time.
But that barely distracts from an otherwise superbly played CD, with the purest flute/recorder sound I've heard in a long time, played with wonderful feeling except for the cuts I mentioned. The last two movements of the Sixth Quartet are some of the most beautiful and inspiring pieces I've heard in a while. And this CD is a tremendous bargain to boot!
