Synopsis
Product Description
The young players of the Melos Quartet formed themselves into a group only in 1965, but their quality has already brought them into prominence. Technically accomplished, with impeccable intonation and beautiful tone, they do not shrink from harshness where it is required and show splendid rhythmic vigour: their leader is outstandingly good.
Lionel Salter, Gramophone, May 1971, reviewing the Melos Quartets debut Deutsche Grammophon LP including the Kodaly Quartet No.2.
Kodalys syncopations are put over with the most telling effect [...] This is marvellous string quartet playing [...] The recording is absolutely first class, the four instruments being beautifully balanced.
Malcolm Rayment, Hi-Fi News and Record Review, June 1971
This present account by the Melos Quartet of Stuttgart is among the finest of their records and is not only superbly played but both beautifully and naturally recorded. Intonation and ensemble are perfect, and they are scrupulous in their observance of dynamic markings.
Robert Layton, Gramophone, October 1987, reviewing Debussy and Ravel
Das Melos-Quartett musiziert mit einem hinreißenden Schwung, mit viel Sinn fur Esprit und Klangcharme, ohne dass dieser Schwung auf Kosten der Genauigkeit ginge, und so stimmen erster Horeindruck und prazises Mithoren wie sonst selten zusammen und vereinen sich zu einem durchweg positiven Urteil. Es gibt heute wohl kaum eine klangschonere, treffender aufgenommene, souveraner musizierte Aufnahme dieser wichtigen Werke.
Wulf Konold, HiFi Stereophonie, April 1980 (Debussy und Ravel)
