Mozart: String Quartets - Quatuor Eb ne CD
Mozart: String Quartets - Quatuor Eb ne CD
After their multi-award-winning Virgin Classics debut with a CD of Debussy, Ravel and Faur, a program of Brahms, and the pop-jazz collection `Fiction, the members of the bne Quartet turn to works that lie close to the very origins of stringquartet writing - Mozarts so-called `Haydn Quartets. Composed in 1785, the set of six quartets was dedicated by Mozart to his friend and mentor Haydn, the acknowledged `father of the string quartet. The most famous of the set is the quartet in C major, KV 465, the `Dissonance. It opens with a mysterious introduction, with layered harmonies creating the dissonance that gives the quartet its distinctive nickname. It is coupled with the quartet in D minor, KV 421 (another of the `Haydn Quartets) and the Divertimento in F major KV 138, written when Mozart was a teenager. Pierre Colombet, first violin of the bne Quartet explains the ensembles approach to Mozart: "We felt that, after Fiction, it would be a good idea to choose something really very classical, essential quartet music which went back to the roots of the quartet. It is such amazing music, so rich and filled with such subtlety; completely unpretentious, yet of such genius."Additional Info: This release contains 19 songs by Spanish musician, Joaquin Sabina.Specifics
