CD Reviews

Leipzigers visit France Moderne...
Sébastien Melmoth | Hôtel d'Alsace, PARIS | 10/03/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

".

Ravel's Belle Époque Quartet (F-major, 1903) is a favourite piece in the genre: quintessential Art Nouveau yet with a prescient ambience of forward-looking Modernism.

This razor's-edge aesthetic balance requires delicate handling to fully realize the perfumed efflorescence available therein.



The Leipziger SQ--(while technically excellent)--takes a brisk and brusque deconstructive application which seems blind to the work's fragrant beauty.



(The Emerson is preferred here Debussy, Ravel: Streichquartette.

Or, perhaps surprizingly [?], the Ad Libitum on Naxos which provides the most richly realized reading available Ravel / Fauré: String Quartets.)
