D Shostakovich; A Webern; F Burian: Webern/Shostakovich/Burian - Rosamunde Quartett

Label - ECM

Cat. No. - 4570672

Including WEBERN: Langsamer Satz für Streichquartett (1905); SHOSTAKOVICH: String Quartet No. 8; BURIAN: String Quartet No. 4

The undervalued work of Czech composer Burian has been one of the Rosamunde Quartett's enthusiasms from the outset. Here they contrast his 4th String Quartet with Shostakovich's 8th - in the process alluding to the troubled biographies of both men - in a programme that begins with Webern's farewell to Romanticism in the Langsamer Satz.

"Long gone are the days when orchestras approached Webern with trepidation, and quite right too: the Passacaglia is almost 100 years old, and clearly shows its roots in Brahms, as Richard Whitehouse points out in his excellent notes. Yuasa shapes it sensitively, with a keen ear for balance, though the strings are sometimes overpowered at the climaxes. But in the Op. 5 Pieces the detail comes through, as well as a sense of continuity, even as Webern begins to strip down his musical language. There's real power in the funeral march from the Op. 6 Pieces, and, as the instrumental lines become more fragmented and the textures sparser, the individual players respond positively to their exposure. In the Op. 5 Pieces, Webern is at his briefest and most attenuated, and here I felt just a hint of nervousness in some of the difficult solo lines, but again, Yuasa's sense of pacing and balance are fully in tune with the personality of the music. With the Symphony and Variations, we've reached the maturity of a great composer, and, especially in the last, the orchestra plays with real confidence and flair. The name of Webern may scare you, but this is beautiful music. Go on: risk a fiver." PERFORMANCE: * * * * SOUND: * * * * - Martin Cotton, BBC Music Magazine, February 2002

Hill probes <Actinic:Variable Name = 'Schoenberg'/> with subtlety, sympathy and high intelligence....Apart from its amazing value for money, Naxos's first-rate recording quality, Peter hill's own lucid booklet-essay, and what sounds like an ideally regulated instrument, all contribute to the outstanding success of the new issue."- David J.
