Danish String QuartetAbout
The project has been eight years in the making. Now on the fifth and final volume, Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale prelude Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit "opens up like a flower" (as Paul Griffiths writes in the liner notes) to preface Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet no.16 in F major. Anton Webern's early String Quartet, composed in 1905 - and inspired both by Beethoven and Schoenberg - follows, and the programme returns to Bach with Contrapunctus 14 from The Art of the Fugue.
Reviews
All the pieces on this final instalment of the ‘Prism’ series stand on a threshold, and in this Op 135 Beethoven does so with the vitality and humour of the Diabelli Variations.
the musicians bring an effortless beatific refinement to an arrangement of the chorale prelude Vor deinen Thron tret’ich hiermit […]. A potent reading, potently illuminated by the contextualising Bach and Webern.
Throughout, ECM’s engineers do full justice to these refined, coherent and erudite performances, which combine an exhilarating sweep with minute attention to details of phrasing and timbre.Error on this page? Let us know here
