Torrent description
Luigi Cherubini - The Six String Quartets
String Quartets Nos. 1 in E flat major (1814) / 2 in C major (1829) / 3 in D minor (1834) / 4 in E major (1835) / 5 in F major (1836) / 6 in A minor (1837) / Melos Quartett Stuttgart
It's not possible to recommend these recordings highly enough. The performances are masterful and open a window on a musical world which stands in considerable contrast to Viennese Classicism, but no less worthy of attention. Luigi Cherubini (1760-1842), a member of the so-called "Paris School", wrote these works between 1814 and 1837. However, these quartets comprise a creative universe with a range of expression and invention equally as compelling - but of a totally different order - as what one encounters in the much better known cycles of composers such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
If you like to be surprised, this is music for you ... one never quite knows what's coming next in these amazing quartets. But this is music which also deepens with repeated hearing.
